Need a replacement transmission? Quality transmissions are hard to find. Free estimate to your email.
Frankly, you are likely facing a mechanical problem and not a transmission issue. You might say that both are mechanical, and, to be accurate, they are because they involve mechanical systems in your Escort. However, to a mechanic an engine is an engine, a transmission is a transmission and so forth.
With that said, though, let’s look at your car’s problem. You mention that “… the previous owner … had a new transmission and clutch put in a few years ago.” The tranny is a five-speed manual. The transmission is working correctly or as you say it “… When I put the car into a forward gear. I have no problem shifting, nor is the clutch slipping.” So, since the transmission is working correctly, your car doesn’t appear to have a transmission problem.
The whining sound you are hearing could be any of a-half-dozen potential problems. If you could have given us a bit more information, we’d probably be able to locate the potential issues affecting your car, however, since the information isn’t there, we can’t help you much more. At least, though, you know it isn’t a transmission problem.
We’ve just revisited this question quickly and here’s a thought. It could be that the syncros on the forward gears are wearing a bit and getting noisy. This would tend to make sense in a vehicle that is now about 20 years old. And, although your friend did change the transmission a few years ago, it was still in the past and things have a way of wearing in manners you do not expect. If you can live with the sound — it is evident you can because the transmission is working correctly — then just wait until you have your vehicle in for the next regularly scheduled service appointment. At that time, the technician should give your transmission a good look over.
