My 3rd Gen whines when put in reverse...

Whenever I start the car up and put it in reverse, to back out of a parking spot etc, the car produces a whine or like a high pitched grind noise from the front, but as soon as I stop and put it in drive it goes away, any thoughts?

TIA
Tim

Well, if it's a standard transmission, that's actually normal for the reverse gear to 'whine'

I've never driven one that has.
Maybe it was just in the older cars.
