1995 lumina trans

i have a 1995 chevy lumina 3.1 v6 and when u start it up it sounds like the tranny is clicking and poping and now it starts to do that when u stop. it stops doing that when u put it in gear. but if u get roling and try to stop it sounds like it is tearing the tranny up.

ahh yeah, man change your tranny fluid and filter, that fixed my problem, Change the fluid and filter
do it save you the pain of another tranny

thanks ill try that tommorrow

automatic transmissions shouldnt make noises like that. sounds like one of your planetaries is coming apart/tearing up. you can flush it but i doubt its going to do anything for you. check for metal flakes on your dipstick. metalflakes=death for transmissions. but to prod a bit, does the car jerk or anything or is it like a grinding gear? its possible your parking pawl or something in that setup is messed up. all it is is a big gear thats connected to your driveshafts that is locked by an equally beefy arm. worse come to worse you can take it to a trans shop and see what they say.

it doesnt grind while driveing just when ur stoping and when u rev it up in park or neutral

well when mine was goin when it park l'd rev it l loud pop or crack and car would roll backwards,then after that weeklater started a irratating errr errr errr noise
chaged oil it weas black, and when magnet was cleanmed off it was thick black gewwy shit
new oil and filter fixed everything
well untill it went dark after a night of beatin on it

yea i dont abuse mine so its not black but it is dark

i think im gonna change the fluid here and if thats gets rid of the problem im gonna still take it to the tranny shop

well l dident abuse abuse mine more less gunning it on icy roadsLOL
ya dark/black mine was actuly not black but very dark grey red the fluid is red
takes about 8liters only comes in 10liter juges
once u replace the fluid put in nutral and run at a high idal around 1200rmp 2mins then top it off
should find everything
if you need any help give my cell a ring 1-519-386-3020
hope everything works and let me know

alright well thanks

I'd have the drivechain inspected. These will make noise under a no-load condition(Park,Neutral). If you let it go too long, it will start to wear into the transmission housing and begin to slip..

yea ill definately do that thanks for the input

my grand father thinks it might be a bad cv joint

If it were, why does it do it without the vehicle moving..?
