1995 Rodeo has a whine to the transmission, is this normal??

Start with shift sensor. Then go down the line. It is possible something went wrong during the last shift and the transmission sensor locked it down into safety mode to avoid ripping up transmission. If this doesn't fix it you may need a rebuild.

It is time for a transmission rebuild.

Is ther clutch disengaging all the way? Checked the fluid level and condition? don-ohio

HAVE YOU TESTED THE CLUTCH SAFETY SWITCH LOCATED ON THE PEDAL

On the transmission, looks like another motor where the transmission connects to the engine.

Sounds like torque converter has seen better days. Time for a transmission repair shop.

LOOK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

You are going to need to purchase the computer that came with the transmission you are putting into the vehicle. A manual transmission computer is not programmed to monitor the same stuff as an automatic transmission. It would be the equivalent of using microsoft word the fix a digital photograph. The program is just not up to the job... I would just buy the whole wiring harness and computer. Then you know it will work. Good luck.

No they are not compatible. They changed the crank between 95 and 96. I have a 96 that needed an engine swap and the dealer that I bought it from was paying for the engine, he bought a 95 engine and after a month of trying the mechanic said no way no how, the crank between the two is different.

the whine is from the power steering pump...you probably have a split line that needs replaced..
