My Honda CRV (1998) is making a high pitched whine sometimes when I'm driving. It seems to happen when the rpms are high before shifting (I own a standard transmittion CRV). It whines between 2.5 and 3 rpms. This has come and gone at different times--not always present in cold weather, but whenever it happens it is shilly out.
Re: My Honda CRV (1998) is making a high pitched whine...
Does the high-pitch whine exist when the engine is just running? Not moving (transmission is not in gear)? Running but with transmission in neutral (coasting down hill)?
It happens on mine as well. The engine could just be running (not moving), thought that happened only once. Other times it sounds after about 5mins of starting the engine and driving, then it stops. Any idea!It happens on mine as well. The engine could just be running (not moving), thought that happened only once.

That is the blower motor. It is a small electric motor under the dash that mounts on the plenum. When it starts to go bad, it squeals. They are about 100 dollars at autozone.
Check your power steering fluid level. If too low the pump will whine like that. Put some in it if low. Don't buy power steering fluid, automatic transmission fluid is the same thing and is much cheaper.
Manually shift thru all gears up & down the scale. Try adding Motorcraft Additive Friction Modifier, available from Ford parts dept. This REALLY STINKS!!! Don't get any on you. Pour into trans fluid. Drive a few miles shifting manually thruthe gears, then do a normal start stop drive several times. This will luburcate trans, normally used for differential but has worked in automatic transmissions of all makes for years. Otherwise mechanical problem for transmission repair facility.
Providing there are no oil leaks at all, some transmission stabilizer may help. Any experience i've had with a whining 5 speed, is not good. Usually it's a bearing on it's way out. Try some of this, and see if it makes any difference.

The high pitched whine in reverse sounds normal for a honda. Ever honda I have had makes a similar noise while in reverse. The spinning, scraping noise in drive is not normal. You might want to see a mechanic about that.
