So I've noticed my transmission whines when accelerating. When I accelerate from a stop, the whining starts and gets higher pitched the faster I go. I know it's not the engine because it doesn't make that noise when I rev it in neutral. It's loudest in first but as I progress through gears it gets quieter. So in gear 6 it's very quiet but still there, not quiet as noticeable. It doesn't affect performance so I'm not too too worried yet. I have the TRD quick shifter, and everything else thing feels and sounds fine. What do you think it could be? Should I be worried? And how could I check the transmission fluid on this car? It's a 2016 tC, roughly 77k miles.

Now the whine isn't ear piercing, it's noticeable if you listen. Most people wouldn't even notice it.

Might be your tranny or maybe one or both of the CV joints. Find a good mechanic.
