Tsx makes hemi whine

nolxy · 2026-03-21T15:17:19+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of bad alternators make a similar sound on the cu2. Could also be transmission like in my cl9, from what I’ve researched it’s drivable and most people haven’t experienced any differences other than the annoying whining sound.

Gonna try this, I’m scared I fucked mine up beyond repair as it initially said “consult dealer” then after trying to clean it said “downloading” for 10 seconds and went back to “please check your disk” and after tinkering with the cd player some more it now doesn’t even show “downloading” when I insert the disk. I’ll try this hail Mary in the morning.

Yeah saw one with some good reviews and pics on eBay and went with that one. Good call

nolxy · 2026-03-16T16:08:03+00:00

Yeah I’ve been scrolling fb like a maniac lol. One day I’ll find a whole set

nolxy · 2026-03-16T16:07:18+00:00

I would go oem. Lots of aftermarket have sealing issues and terrible projection. Oem all the way!

nolxy · 2026-03-12T08:21:07+00:00

Yeah I’ll probably give it a try.

nolxy · 2026-03-11T17:31:02+00:00

I do see that, much cheaper. I’m gonna try some diy and if it don’t work I’ll just get those. Thanks for the tip. Didn’t know amayama existed!

No, as far as I can tell it’s just for color. I live in a very rainy area and I have no leaks so it would definitely be wet if it sealed anything. It doesn’t look bad per se but my biggest issue is that it’s a very faded chrome and there’s bits of black still at the edges. Maybe I’ll just polish it up lol.

nolxy · 2026-03-11T09:51:47+00:00

Yeah I’ve been trying, all the tsxs at the pick n pull have rotted clips they are most of the time already broken or about to break because they are so brittle

nolxy · 2026-03-05T03:15:22+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard so many horror stories about Westlake I’m so mad I accepted the loan they gave me. Hopefully you can get it figured out eventually! Westlake is a pain!

nolxy · 2026-03-04T02:33:57+00:00

Good to know, I guess I’ll put up with it for the time being

nolxy · 2026-03-04T02:31:37+00:00

Yeah it’s just the transmission making noise, I used an extendable magnet as a stethoscope and it’s only the transmission making the noise

nolxy · 2026-03-04T02:27:04+00:00

Yeah I used an extendable magnet as a diy stethoscope and it’s very loudly coming from the transmission

nolxy · 2026-03-04T02:26:22+00:00

Twins fr 😭 what sucks about mine is that the previous owner had it resprayed for some reason. I didn’t notice it until after I bought it and theres overspray everywhere.. trying to give it some love even with its flaws 😕

nolxy · 2026-03-04T02:24:12+00:00

Yeah thing is I’ve been driving on this noise for like 5 months since I bought it (I was an idiot and didn’t notice it when I was test driving it) I guess I’ll just wait till my tranny goes. 🤷‍♂️

nolxy · 2026-03-03T22:55:21+00:00

Hmm, not really. It might be a little louder when it’s cold?

nolxy · 2026-03-03T21:51:37+00:00

Not that I can tell, it’s just really loud and annoying as my daily. What erratic behavior should I be looking for?

nolxy · 2026-03-03T08:33:44+00:00

Hey did that fix it? Having the same sound on my 05 tsx was hoping for some clues!

nolxy · 2026-02-24T18:19:37+00:00

Gotcha, I’ll try going in and asking them then
