Got a couple questions for you fellas:
I've got a whining noise that gets louder and/or changes pitch depending on speed and load on the system. Seems to be coming from the left side of the car, but it's kind of hard to tell. I'm curious as to what this may be and what I should expect. My brain is telling me it's transmission noise, which also scares me a bit, but the transmission seems to operate fine and last time it was in the shop they said the fluid level is fine. Is there something I should look for?
Also, I seem to have a lot of slop in my drive train. It seems to have gotten worse over time and now in the morning, when my clutch is a little grabby, the grab is a bit violent at times. My mounts seem to be okay, so I can only assume I have some play elsewhere in my system.
Could both of these issues be a CV issue? I'm not very familiar with how failing CV's operate, so I figured I'd ask!
Thanks in advance!
