I got a 2013 with a auto ( 1st time with a auto in a really long time) but I have a whining noise coming from the tranny when it is placed in a gear but disappears when in park or neutral. I did take it to a dealership and they emailed the ford tech hotline and they said to compare it to another like car but they don;t have one. So then they told them to turn on the AC and turn the fan on the 2nd speed and if they can still hear the noise then there is a problem but then you can't hear it from inside the car.
The nose doen't go away then, if you are outside of the car you can still hear the whine. I was jsut wondering if anyone else has this issue or if I am just being to picky?

 

I believe most Mustangs sold are Automatic, so the odds are pretty good someone here has one - yuk yuk!

Whining is usually not good (you get double-secret probation) and it's especially not good when your ride does it. Lots of techs and Ford reps here - sound advice to follow soon...!!!

 

sounds like a front pump whine from the trans, it its not to loud its normal, mine does it.. if it gets loud enough to hear it distinctivly over radio and car... something broke

 

My 2012 GT Auto with 4500-miles has been in the shop for 7-days now with the same issue. Noise in Drive or Reverse, emitting a low growl/whine noise, but not in Park/Neutral.

They identified the noise as either Converter or Pump noise, and are replacing both. I am waiting for a call right now from the Service Adviser to find out if the replacement parts remedied the noise.

 

Update:

Picked up the car, and it appears that replacing the Converter and Pump fixed my Automatic transmission whine/growl noise at idle in-gear.

 

Good to hear yours is fixed buddy, i just haopen to find a shop that is scared to fix mine i guess

 

Some of theses dealers are a joke! There quick to help you pick out a new car, but quick to wave you off when you have a problem!!

 

2012/13 models were issued a recall in the automatic transmissions, I forgot what the recall entailed but you might want to look into that.

 

I just turned 1,000 Kms on my gt 13 vert...and no noise, whin or otherwise. Sorry to hear.

You did not mention if you have a gt or v6.

 

Sorry about that, i got the GT
Thanks for the info about the recall, checking into that

 

The recall is for people who's car/truck/SUV wouldn't go in reverse properly.

I have a ’13 5.0 with the 6R80. I also noticed a slight whine similar to a gear driven cam but much less pronounced than that. My guess is it’s the pump which, depending on its design (Twin spur verses gear-rotor), what I’m hearing would be an acceptable amount of noise. My opinion: IF there are no other drivability problems and no other noises that sound ‘catastrophic’ in nature, I would suggest you drive it…you have at least 36,000 miles to figure it out. If there is something bad going on inside the tranny it’s going to show itself well before that many miles have elapsed.

 

So true

 

Can you post a link? I dont know of any recalls for the auto

 

I have a 2011 Automatic and it is silent. No pump noise or whine.
