00 Rodeo, Tranny noise

[Dimitrix]

Hey guys,
Everytime I hit the gas hard (not even THAT hard, just fast acceleration), the tranny makes weird metallic vibrating noise, but not always.

At first I thought it was only the 4th gear, but not the noise is more often. I really dont know that area, but I was thinking maybe its the transfer case.

I know the insurance ran out just this past november but my dad said that the transmision might still be covered.

Any help in this issue could really help (or guidance)
Thank you
Dimitry

Which tranny: automatic or 5spd manual?, the 5spds tend to rattle a bit if you lug/bogg the engine in higher gears- has something to do with idler shafts in the 5spd. If you have an auto, I would suspect a heat sheild is rattling. Either way, your tranny & entire drivetrain will be covered for 10yrs/120Kmi if you are the original owner, or 5yrs/60Kmi if you are a subsequent owner. G/luck

Its auto,
Im not the original owner, but I should still qualify for the 5yr/60kmi (only 25k on it) and its 2000 so we'll see

Ill be in the dealership area on monday so Ill stop by and talk to them Also gotta do state inspection this month so maybe Ill kill 2 birds with one stone.

Thanks for a quick response
