Subject:      Transaxle noise
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

My Carat transaxle has begun producing a growl/whine. The pitch of the
sound is relative to the axle speed. Volume depends upon the torque
applied. Vehicle has 183K miles, but I know nothing of it's history before
the last 30K Redline-fed miles. Some diagnostic guesses please ?


I changed the trans oil last night and the drain-plug had a fair coating of
steel, but not really catastrophic looking (MTL had about 20K miles).
