Hello,

Sorry I don't have my profile together yet. I'm working on it.
That said... I'm having a problem with my 98 TJ manual speed 6cyl.
It's freaking cold in Wisconsin right now and today when I was driving I kept getting a high pitched whirring / squealing noise from the transmission. It would happen in any gear, and would get higher in pitch the faster the RPM's. As soon as I pop the clutch in and disengage the transmission the noise stops.

Any ideas on what it is?
I don't have the tools or setup to take a look at it in the middle of winter. Think I can drive it to a shop without damaging it?
Maybe I can just pretend not to notice and it'll go away....

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks.
Now.. back to work on that profile....

I noticed what sounds like the same thing you're describing in the last few days of cold weather. At first I thought perhaps the brake shoes were dragging a smidge, but as I ran through the gears, it became obvious that it was transmission related. With mine, the sound goes away fairly quickly, so I'm assuming it's just a different sound due to cold lubricant.

I'd certainly be happy to hear a more expert opinion though.

Did you check the fluid level?

What type of fluid are you using in your Jeep?
