question about tranny's

Re: question about tranny's
i think its from the fact that reverse is geared so low the internals are spinning pretty fast

Re: question about tranny's
you hear the whining sound because normal driving gears such as first, second and third are angle cut gears like your cam gears, so they spread the area of force across a larger area for more torque and higher speed, while reverse gears are straight cut gears because they dont need to be used for high speed purposes or large amounts of torque.
