Hello,

 

i recently bought 2013 Chrysler Yplison myself love the little car. however there is a whining noise when in second gear and third gear i believe it means that there is a lack of lubrication within the gearbox and i am wondering if anyone knows of anyone in the uk that recommend or advise what the problem may be.

Whining from the transmission could be a few different things, worn bearings or gears in the gearbox or differential could cause it. Any decent garage should be able to check the gearbox oil level & top up if necessary.  However if it’s making noise then there is the chance it’s too late by now & a replacement gearbox might well be required at some point.  As the car is actually a Lancia made by Fiat (nothing to do with Chrysler) a second hand ‘box from a Punto, Panda or 500 - depending on your engine - should be relatively easy to find.
