Eric, Sounds like the beginning of a FlexPlate failure... I hope for your sake that isn't the case. Our friends had a similar issue with their 90 Westy, we made it 150 miles out of town, before ka-boom! We were behind it when it happened, in pouring rain. It wouldn't hurt to have a professional take a look. If it has been doing this for years, likely I'm way off! Good luck Eric!

It goes away in park or once the van moves. Not all transmissions make this sound. Anyone know what the sound is? Eric Caron = |
