Joe--be more specific on your noises---a whine ,click,rumble,??? A bearing noise goes rrrRRR getting louder at the end of each gear-is it quiet in 3rd,4th--on accel or decel?? Pinion bearings are the most common and will ruin the ring/pinon if let go too long. I rebuild these for a living so I can probably help- 3rd/4th shifting problem is the 2nd most common failure of the early trans. Daryl at AA Transaxle web page at aatransaxle.com |
