- Thu Jun 02, 2011 5:33 am #257818 Long story short, I did a tranny swap. Now I got a high pitched whine coming from the bay, then gets sluggish after a few turns. Charged the battery, even jumpboxed it. Plug Wire are correct too

- Thu Jun 02, 2011 1:13 pm #257839 Can you tell where in the bay the whine is from? Like an electrical whine or a mechanical or gear whine?

Did you get the grounds hooked back up?

- Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:32 pm #257884 So the starter is turning the flywheel & motor, but the motor is never firing up...
Have you checked to see if you have fuel & spark?

- Sun Jun 05, 2011 5:59 pm #258118 its sits above your oem ecu location its a 2 wire clip the green thing your talking about is the cover for said clip find the clip jump a wire or something to conduct electrodes through and check the code if still no code then something is wrong wiring wise go back through every little wire near or around the motor/trans, also check to be sure your grounds arent dirty with grease.
