#1 of 83 2007 2WD Transmission Noise? by band_photog

Aug 15, 2007 (8:50 pm)

My wife claims that our new '07 CR-V is making a noise that I just can't hear. She says it sounds similar to brake wear sensors, although it never "happens" when I touch the brakes. It seems to "happen" during shifting cycles, or just before a shift, when climbing a hill. I honestly can't hear it, but others that have ridden in the car claim they can hear it. We have not been able to reliably reproduce the noise. My wife compains of it after I've accelerated up a hill, after forcing a downshift, then slightly let off the gas to allow the transmission to shift back up. Does any of this sound familiar? I'm going nuts not being able to hear the noise, and the dealer looks at me funny, too. I need validation!!! Thanks.

Maybe it is the brake wear sensor. Engine noise may be drowning out the sound during normal driving but subsides momentarily while shifting gears or relaxing throttle. You didn't mention how many miles you have on your CR-V though brakes can wear more or less rapidly.

Mileage is < 6K. Brakes have been checked by the dealer and are fine.

Is this a high pitched whistle-like noise? That's what I have during shift cycles or just before a shift on a new 07 CRV 4WD. Unfortunately, it's intermittant, and the dealer hasn't got a clue.

I noticed the high pitched whistle-like noise as well. The car (4WD model) has about 650 miles now (bought it 3 wks ago) and I noticed the noise about a week ago (at ~500 miles). It usually happens during uphill climb with acceleration. I notice the noise comes when the RPM is above 3200 but it does not always happen.

That's the one. I haven't figured out the cause or fix, but have determined that it only occurs when the A/C is on. If you get it fixed, please post the fix.

#8 of 83 2000 Honda CR-V Transmission Noise by pheonix1

I have a 2000 Honda CR-V with 110,000 miles on it. I have had for quite some time now, a whirring sound (similar to the sound the tranny makes when you drive in reverse at a moderate speed) that doesn't seem to be getting worse, but certainly, not getting better either. I asked a mechanic friend of mine what he thought it was and he offered that it may be a "slip gear" (?) in the transmission. Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there a service bulletin for this?? At 110k, I'm certainly not going to invest $5000 in a new tranny for this thing, even though it is a great runner. Any thoughts??

Try changing the fluid 3 times.
 
Use Honda ATF ZF-1 ONLY! There is no substitute.

I sure hope it's that simple! To be honest, I'm still running on the original tranny fluid I'm embarrassed to say...should have changed it 30k ago. Blueiedgod, it sounds like you may have seen this before??
