Transmission whine, is this normal?

cbfks · Mar 25, 2021

Hi all,

So i've acquired an ex-mil '86 110 with the 2.5 N/A engine and LT77 gearbox. I've noticed the whine especially above 40mph is quite loud on this landrover vs the '94 that I had. There is barely any soundproofing whatsoever so this could be why. When I take off the inspection plate it's obviously a lot louder.

Is this normal? If not, what could be causing it?

See below for video:

Ok, given me some peace of mind. Thanks. Perhaps the LT77 is just like that? I'm struggling to remember how loud my other defender was but I think it had better soundproofing.
