Replied by Busta on topic whine possibly from gear box

Most cars have one gearbox that also houses the differential and that's it. The Jimny has a gearbox, transfer case and 2 differentials (although only the rear differential is spinning when in 2wd) so the opportunities for mechanical transmission noises are much higher than a normal car!

I quite like, it's part of the Jimny's character. It's even better when driven hard in low range, with the whine of the planetary gearset making it sound like a rally car.
