What kind of tranny do you have? A lot of 5 speeds make whining noises while driving.

its the stock tranny.it also makes the noise a little louder when i try to down shift to 2nd or 1st

Thats normal. When you downshift, the gearbox has to speed up, naturally making more noise.

my car has a whistle between 2400-3k in all gears..i dunno what it is but it sounds tight and allways has done it..

Maybe a bad pulley bearing? I had a similar problem recently, and thats what solved it.

Wait! What type of throttle body? BBKs are notorious for whistling. My BBK whistles like crazy. Luckily the blower covers the noise in my car though.

i know that the throttle body whistles,but is not that.is something else.

probably the tranny then, unless you have a vacuum leak.

Where is the sound coming from exactly, everyone can take there guesses but might not be guessing even the right area of the car, you have to be more specific. [patriot]

its coming from somewhere in the engine.
