After the 50 hr HST transmission service (used Mahindra fluid and filter) at about 65 hrs I started noticing a slowly pulsating "scraping" noise coming from the transmission, only when the oil got good and warm. The noise varies with engine speed but does not change whether in 2 or 4 wheel drive, in neutral or low or high range. There is no noticeable change in performance but it's something I definitely did not hear before. It seems to me that it's slowly getting louder with time. I finally notified the dealer and had them look at it as I was concerned it might be a bearing or something serious. They claimed it had to do with a hose or valve vibrating against something when oil is warm and replaced both a hose and a "valve" on the HST. When I got a chance to test it out after a good warm-up, the noise still shows up. Dealer claims it's not anything to worry about. I have not found anybody else claiming the same problem so either no one notices it or it truly is not an issue. I am considering replacing the Mahindra HST fluid with another high quality fluid from Shell (Spirax?) to see if that clears up the problem.
Has anyone had this same problem in their eMax?
