It's only in drive or reverse, not neutral or park. It is present when idling in drive and changes with the rpm. I think it’s been making noise for a while, but I didn't notice because the fuel pump was failing and before that, the muffler needed replacement.

Is this anything to worry about? I've heard some noise is normal, but this is present in second gear as well before it’s drowned out by engine and road noise. Transmission fluid has been changed at least 3 times recently, its a decent red color and at the perfect level ]]> Volvo 850 snugani https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-850-16/1996-850-auto-whining-noise-118194/ https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-850-16/96-850-oil-dipstick-measurements-118170/ Thu, 23 Apr 2026 02:42:22 GMT I just got a 96 850 wagon for my 16th birthday and the precious owner lost the original dipstick and made one himself, im not sure if its the correct length so I was wondering if anyone who has an...
