I run a TKO and I can't say I've any complaints about it being noisy, maybe I just can't hear it over the side pipes.

I also run a TKO (not a TKO2 - should be no difference in noise) and have underslung exhausts. I can "just" hear the gearbox in 2nd and 3rd at lower speeds, that's all.

Much more noise from the jag rear end, which is normal.

Wilf,

I have been a little worried about the mild howl coming from my jag rearend ( hold the jokes for a second) you saying this is to be expected?

I remember someone saying that the TKO has straight-cut gears. I find this hard to believe, but if true, this would account for the whine. All straight-cut gears are noisy and it is nothing to be alarmed about.

Can someone confirm straight cut gears in TKO?

The tko does not have straight cut gears. It should not make any whine noise. Could be a bearing issue internally. Scott

You might want to call Dave Kee.

He maigh be able to tell you what's going on.

If someone else suggested this, sorry for the double suggestion.

Does the noise come and go with gear selection?
If it remains constant, I would suspect rear end.
My TKO makes no noise I can hear over exhaust and engine sounds.
