Hi, I have a 93 taurus gl sedan which is givining a low pitchted whine when I come to a stop and keep it in gear. It is an automatic and does this in every gear exept neutral and park. other than this whine sound the car drives and shifts flawlessly. Any advice?

BTW, as soon as I let off the break and start moving it goes away

my 96 does the same and it has been rebuilt. Just gear noise nothing to worry about.

well no gears are moving when you are stopped. I would suspect it has something to do with th e torque converter.

One other thing to check is your alternator could be making the noise when its under load.
