96 Jetta transmission whistle?

[The FlyerFly]

I have a 96 Jetta GLS 2.0, automatic transmission, and I have noticed a sort of whistle that only seems to happen in 2nd gear and @ about 3000 RPM. It also seems to happen most when coming out of a turn when I get back on the gas. If I ease through the gears, I don't hear it. The whistle is also accompanied by a very slight rumble.

Any ideas?

Can anyone help with this?

Clean your throttle body with throttle body cleaner. Sounds as if the blade is sticking.

Thanks Franco. Ill try that sometime today. Makes sense, although i had attributed it to the tranny considering the fact that i never hear the whistle/whine at that RPM in any other gear. Suppose it could have more to do with the load im putting on it coming out of the turn.
