Transmission Assembly
The RS800 transmission is a sealed unit prone to internal variator wear. A whine under load indicates that the internal drive surfaces or the input shaft bearings have lost their geometric tolerance, causing acoustic resonance as the unit struggles to maintain torque. Replacement of the entire assembly is the only reliable fix as internal components are not individually sold by Toro.

Transmission Drive Belt
Glazing or thinning of the V-belt can cause high-frequency vibration when the transmission pulley creates peak tension under load. This vibration can travel through the hollow transmission casing, amplifying into a whine that mimics internal mechanical failure.

Transmission Pulley Kit
The input pulley contains a bearing and a specific interface with the transmission input shaft. If the pulley bore becomes eccentric or the integrated bearing fails, the resulting axial play causes the shaft to oscillate under load, generating a distinct whining sound.
