Default Noisy Rincon Transmission

My Rincon has a whiney noise in the transmission. It is hard to describe. It reminds me of the noise I had when I drove my Tahoe with mud tires on the highway. I don't remember the demo I rode having this noise. I rode the Prairie 700, the Rincon and the Grizz all within an hour of each other and the P700 was very noisy. that was one of the big deciding factors in choosing the Rinny. Does anyone else notice this noise? If not, I may need to bring it to the attention of the dealer.I have a little over 100 miles on it now and thought it might go away with a few miles. Any feed back would be appreciated.

I haven't heard any noises. Are you sure it isn't in 4wd? Because the front end does make a slight whirring noise, kinda like mud tires on the highway, when in 4wd but that's normal.

Mine makes a sort of whistle noise when its cold but only when the oil is cold as soon as it has time to warm up it stops.

No it's not hydro mechanical. That's the Hondamatic in the Rubicon and Rancher AT. They do make a whining type of noise. The Rincon has the same type of transmission that your automatic car or truck has, which should not make much noise if any at all.

No noise coming from mine either, you have checked the oil levels and such? The only noise that I hear is when I engage four wheel drive. I would have the Dealer look at it and check it out real good just to make sure.
