I have a 96 sr5 5 speed 4runner, 280k ish miles.
Ever since I have owned it there is an audible whine or a ringing kind of noise in some gears but only when I'm really pushing it. 2nd gear is the loudest (and its not really even that loud) but if I'm accelerating hard at the top range of 2nd gear it is pretty noticeable. If I accelerate more gently it doesn't make any sound at all.
I changed the transmission fluid last year and that didn't seem to make any difference.
Hoping someone with more knowledge can comment on this, I realize it's an old truck and has strange noises but I'm more curious than worried right now.
