Transmission trouble, GRRR!

[94NDTA]

I think I figured it out. I just got off the phone with my tranny builder, he told me the tranny is running fine if the noise isn't happening in reverse, neutral, or park. He said 99.99% of the time when he gets this call, it is an exhaust leak, and when the load on the tranny changes, the exhaust leak pitch changes, which makes sense because the clicking isn't consistant with the driveshaft or wheels turning, but more the rotation of the engine. I will see tomarow if this is the case.

God I hope so, lol.

well it doesnt sound like a simple problem, have u driven the car yet? have u talked to the place u got it from? me and trannys dont get along very well so ill probly not give u to much usefull info

if u get a chance call dallas at kennedy transmission maybe swing it by and have him give u an opinion he's has fixed some cars for me over the phone, he know his stuff and he's pretty good about not charging u for his opinion

Yeah, my tranny guy is pretty knowledgable. I havn't driven it. He told me if it were the pump, or anything in the transmission, it would make the sae noise in revers, N, or P. I'm going to double check for an exhaust leak tomarow.

[94NDTA]

Not an exhaust leak, definetly something at the front of the transmission.

[DrifterExtreme]

damn... i hope you figure this out

[94NDTA]

I think I may have. I talked to another tranny builder and he said the it being up in the air, and the front end being about 4 inches higher than the rear may be the result. He thinks it may just be a bad angle for the DS. We'll see in about half an hour.

[94NDTA]

Nope, still a busted peice of shit! god damn it!

Any other ideas? I had another person tell me to take it to dallas, but I don't want to drive the damn thing over there, AND I don't want to pay $400 for something that is probably really stupid.

Any luck so far with the car?

[94NDTA]

IT LIVES!

It was the parking pawl. My buddies dad diagnosed it within 15 seconds of looking at it. He build mostly FWD chrystler engines.

Pulled the pan, moved it about 2 mm, and she runs great! Too bad there are no more races this year....

[integra_gsr98]

[MisterCMK]

Sweet. Glad to see you got it together. I know there are some races. PM me.

Really? I thought they were done. Sweet, I will try to shoot for the 1st, even though I know I work (my boss is getting married, GRRR!!)

That weekend is bracket racing, not heads up street legal. Just so you are aware of what type of event that will be.

[94NDTA]

How much is it?

[integra_gsr98]

$35.
