My 2K3 R/T is making strange noise that's seems to come from the transmission. Dealer try to fix it by changing the oil type for some T350 (semi-synthetic performance) but it didn't work... After they change the clutch for a new one (cost me 600$ CAD) the problem was gone... for 2 days... after it come back.! So they replace my old "good" clutch (give my 600 back) and ask Chrysler for a new transmission. They give them one and they change the WHOLE transmission (except clutch) . Problem was ok for 3 days.. After it come back!!! I'm very tired of all this!:banghead:

The noise occur when it's cold outside and stop when the car is hot (exemple: at -2 degree celsius, it last 3 minutes after car is running (Iddle and running and at -20 degree celsius it last 25 minutes...) When I "play" with the clutch pedal te noise change and sometimes dissappear when I press the clutch pedal (clutch not engaged) and restart when I release the clutch pedal (clutch engaged).

The noise is kind of grinding.. seems like a rotating grinding noise... If someone have the same problem or can help me out please! I will appreciate!

(P.S. :Sorry for my bad english :P)

sounds like a throw out bearing to me. but if they changed all that stuff and didnt put in a new throw out bearing your mechanic is an idiot.

I'm not sure if they did... I'll check and reply back! thanks for your advice!

This bearing have been change along with the transmission.... This doesn't work.. so the problem is somewhere else...

i believe those have a hydraulic clutch, check to make sure the reservoir is full of fluid and flowing properly thought the lines. Make sure all the air has been bled out.

All it's ok clutch ans transmission is ok... fluid level is #1! all is flowing properly! problem is somewhere else... :shakehead

thats it im all out of ideas. i hope you figure it out

Thanks for your help! I will try to solve it... if I found the answer I will post a reply!

I know this may be a far stretch but have you checked all you heat sheilds around your exaust and on your cat...could be from a vibration...good luck

Checked all shield... it's not a vibration sound... It Sounds more like a grinding noise... RPM don't affect too mutch the noise... but only when I don't toutch the clutch pedal (clutch is engaged) . In that case RPM change a little bit the speed of the grinding noise...

i may be way off here but when i replaced my transmision the flywheel wasnt placed right or not down to size that would make a rattling sound and it didnt make sound when clutch was pushed in or disengaged. maybe. mine is different from yours though. i have a 96.

I'm having the same problem with 2001 r/t. Hit me back
