I've been having my transmission whine in first, second, and a little
bit in third for a little while now...maybe three or four months.
Today when I was parked, I discovered my linkage had come unbolted at
the transmission.  After crawling around for
a little while, getting greasy hands and whatnot, I got the arm bolted
back on to the transmission again.  It seems that
the whining of the transmission has lessened quite a bit as a result of
this tightening of that linkage bolt.  How does this
make sense.  Could it be that I'm just imagining that the whining has
diminished?
