Ok I know "a BMW" but it is one of my favourite videos.

EDIT: how does that tranny work exactly...like internally...those sequential tranny's (i think that's what this is) kinda confuse me... :oops:

That's one noisy differential. I mean, racing BMWs seem to have really noisy rear ends, but that one's exceptionally loud.

Actually the noise is the straight cut sequential gearbox. All the gears in the trany are straight cut which increases their strength and does not produce any sideload like helical gears, the down side is the NOISE

But the pitch increases with road speed, not engine speed. If it were strictly the transmission, wouldn't it vary with engine speed? I've never driven a car with straight-cut gears, so I can't say for sure, but that's the way I envision it.

there are different kinds of sequential boxes, there are dog boxes, and the other kind I forgot.

None the less, the entire rotating assembly that is the transmission going into the output shaft spins. It spins faster and faster as you go up in speed (like your diff) and yes, it makes that noise.

Its the tranny. :)

Yes, Raz - I know the entire output shaft spins at driveshaft speed, but since the input shaft and the entire countershaft spins at engine speed, and since the number of teeth (and therefore the frequency of tooth engagement) is different for each gearset on the mainshaft, I would expect some variation in the pitch as you go up thru the gears. The gears that drop power from input shaft to mainshaft are constant and forever linked to engine speed, and you don't hear these at ALL in this car. If it were the transmission, I'd expect to hear at least some engine speed related gear whine.

There's also almost always a 1:1 gear in the transmission, where power flows straight thru the input shaft to the mainshaft without the use of gears. In most transmissions that's fourth, but in BMWs it's fifth. In that gear, transmission noise is almost nonexistant. That never occurs in this car's case.

That's why I thought it was the differential.

Matt...stop knowing so much...like is there and "Automobile Jeopardy" or sumthin??

:P

i also here this 'whine' in the scooby do's which rally in wrc...i thought it was electrical interference with the intercom system audio...but now i am thinking it relates to the tranny...only it's not near as loud as this BMW

ciao

Man, did I ever get owned :)

Heineken makes me brave on posting, sorry Matt ;)


None the less, straight cut gears ftw!

Well as I originally said, I've never driven one so I don't know for sure. That was just my thought process. Don't consider yourself owned, 'cause I'm probably wrong.

Ian?

I have never driven a straight cut sequential but I have driven straight cut conventional and they are noisy. I agree with Matt that the noise should reduce when in the 1:1 but probaly because there are 6 straight cut gears spinning away the noise is just there
