Transmission Noise

[cnib]

I have a 1000 X4 live valve. I ride in low 90% of the time. Most times in 1st or 2nd gear. Sometimes when climbing speeds may be 3-5mph. If we do that for an extended period of time, I get a whining noise from the rear. Seems like it’s heat related. I’ve never had any warning lights come on. Any ideas?

I use Valvoline 75w90 Full Synthetic in the front and rear dif's. The rear only takes 3.9 OZ so I change it more often. I think the owners manual says every 1,800 miles.

Try turning off the i4WD and see if it is still making the noise. I noticed the whining in 4WD, it stops when I put it in 2WD. So I think it's probably normal. The sub transmission, front drive shaft and front diff spinning are probably what you are hearing. Interested in what you find.

Mine was doing this the other day, didn't realize I had it in 4wd running 60 on blacktop.
