Transmission DOWN!!!

[doodad]

HI guys..

first of all happy new year..

today l washed my car and l wanted to drive to mail box and come back home. distance is like 500 feet. l drove to mail box and while l was coming back, the car started to make some weird noise. and l found out it was TRANSMISSION! the problem is this, transmission is grinding and the car is shaking as a result! the idling is perfect, engine is ok but when l put the car on gear, the car starts to shake, like braking and moving and repeats this all the came..

what do you think is the problem?? and what would u suggest?

thank you.

[doodad]

also, how much would that cost me??

BLame your wife, lol, tell her she did it when she took it for a drive doing 50mph in 1st gear. It is a stick right?

Check the driveshaft. This sounds more like an issue with a u-joint than the transmission itself. It would also make sense that when the car is idling you don't hear anything but when you put it into gear the you hear the noise. Also make sure the exhaust is not hitting something.

If the u-joints check out then I would pull the dust cover and make sure that the flywheel has not broken. Since you weren't really doing anything when this started it sounds like something simple is causing the issue. Otherwise you will need to get the transmission scanned to see what is actually going on. If you need a tranny rebuild, $1800 will do the trick. Let us know what you find out!

no man it is auto!!!

about wife you made me lough man

l got autosave warranty (engine & transmission) if l would know what the problem is, l would go to their web site and check if mine it is covered..

man, the car is moving but l am not driving it.. l dont wanna fuck it all the way.

it has 127k miles
new water pump, new heater hoses new tranny mount, new tires and and new flowmaster exhaust system. also it is 97 formula. (all parts are from pontiac delaler and ORIGINAL)

if l would try to sell it, how much would it be worth?

thank you.

thank you man.

well, l am planning to take my car to a pontiac delaer and let them check. but it is like 40 miles away from my place. should l drive my car to there? or should l towed it? man, l cant lift up the car. l have no tools and also man when l put to drive, the car shakes, moves, slow down, makes noise. how come exhaust could do that??

what is dust cover? where iis it? and what is flywheel?

Flywheel is inbetween motor and tranny, the starter hits it and that it what starts the motor, there is a black plastic cover over it, just take it off and take a look, but that will not look good going to the car dealer wanting to trade it in and having to have it towed, i don't think they will think to much of it, lol. I would just crawl under the car and shake some stuff make shure nothing is loose or leaking.

[doodad]

thank you guys..

wow 2700?? thats a lot man

anyway.. so have u ever heard of a similar problem from anyoneelse? if it is tranny and if it is not covered by my warranty company.. l will not get it fixed and l will sell it and get a 2005 brand new mustang GT (premium package) what do u think about that car? is that faster than 2002 trans-am/formula ws6s? l know l will owe a lot ofmoney but l want a new sports car and mustang seems the cheapest and because of my wife l will get at least 2k discount.

l love birds but l started to hate them.. l had a lot of problems with this car and l cant handle anymore..

[doodad]

GUYS,

should l drive this car to a dealer (like 40 miles) ? would that damage my car more? or should l towed the car to delaer?

also, l still need some help from u guys.. what do you think the problem is?

thank you.

a 02 ws6 will blow the doors off that GT. I would get it towed just to be safe.

If you can't look under the car to see if anything is wrong I would tow the car to the dealer or a mechanic to get it checked. I really don't think this is anything that is going to cost you major bucks because of the way it first started making the noise. Of course I have been wrong before! Please let us know what you find.

[doodad]

yeah it just started and l am lucky it started right infront of my house and l parked it right away and l havent driven it.

l will tow it tomorrow to a pontiac delaer. and l will let them check. which means, 100 bucks for towning and 100 buck for checking the car..

man l hate this car anymore... l will get rid of it as soon as possible..
l will get a new 05 STANG GT.. l guess thats is the cheapest new sports car.

thank you.
