Oh, 'one more thing:' If you do a fluid change, drain into a really
clean container and check the fluid carefully for metal (use a
magnet, etc.). If there's more than a tiny bit--some wear is normal,
we are crunch a shift once-in-a-while--then a tear-down/replacement
is the only option.<br>

<font size="2" face="sans-serif">The issue, 2017 Jeep
Patriot
with a 5 speed manual transmission makes a 'whirring' sound
when driving
in 3rd gear or higher.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Started about a year ago,
when car was
picked up from a franchise mechanic shop. (owner of car is
a single
woman without much money.) </font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">When she called them back
they where
like, "Well, we would have to charge you to look at it." So
since she already suspected they caused the issues, she
didn't want to
give them more money.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">She brought it to another
shop and they
said, "You need a new transmission." That will more than
likely exceed the valve of the Jeep. So they just did a
fluid change, and
that was it. Note, in their carfax report, they listed that
they
"installed a new transmission" in addition to the fluid
change,
so I don't trust them either.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">It's a manual 5 speed. I
checked
the fluid level and it is exactly where it should be. So I
did a
road test.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Here is the crazy part.</font>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">There is NOTHING that I can
feel that
would indicate any transmission problems. No slipping, no
chucking,
it shifts smooth and pulls strong. No vibrations. The only
thing is that noise, and that ONLY happens when you give it
throttle.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">So if you are going down the
street
at 50, and take your foot off the gas pedal, noise goes
away. If you just
give it a little gas, noise returns.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">If you have it in neutral
coasting,
no noise. If you are engine braking, no noise. The noise is
ONLY
if you have your foot on the gas in the slightest.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Note, there is also no
noticeable noise
in 1st or 2nd gear.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">I am thinking that the
original shop
did something to the car to make it start this noise,
knowing she would
take it back there to get it fixed and that it's a simple
fix.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">I would love to be able to
fix this
as it is a hard working girl that doesn't have much money
and really takes
care of her car. She is also a good friend of my fiancee,
so it would
be bonus points for me. 8>)</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Thanks and I hope everyone
takes a moment
to think about all the Soldier's that gave their lives to
protect our freedoms,
(no matter what country you are from.)</font>
