Default No trani whine after alignment- coincidence ?

Need some input,

Have always had some minor trani whine when the temperatures are colder upon driving away at about 50km/hr...

Even after the trani overhaul, tech said its perfectly normal.

NOW, since the alignment has been done, no whine...

Interesting! Coincidence?

Not that I'm whining or anything

You might be hearing the rubber fromn the tires squeel and associated with tranny.

Fern,

As loud as my RX is, I will try to note any whine when I start out in the morning or this afternoon after work.

I did my second drain and fill (3 drain and fills over 3 weeks) on Sunday before I went to the track.

I haven't done an alignment in over a month (like I used to), but will try to notice if I find something similar as I probably will go down for an alignment on Saturday.

I'm refering to cold ambient temperatures like 3 degrees celsius or colder... Not cold engine...

Lexmex, fortunately for you, living in Mexico you may never see this temperature...

I'm jealous

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure. At the track, I once saw a 48 F. A few nights ago, 40 F degrees when I was driving home and some places were reporting 0 Celsius over in Toluca over the mountains from where I live. We get hail that accumulates like snow here.
