hoov100 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 ok, the grinding was caused by the starter no dis-engaging all the way, so i fixed that, no more grinding, now it seems like a rattle or metal against metal bouncing, its comming from almost the same spot, around the front of the trans..

Shift Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I don't think it would be the torque converter. I haven't heard of a torque converter grinding before. Maybe its the input and/or output shaft bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoov100 Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 ok, took a little drive to phoenix (300 miles there) and back today and no grinding/rattling, on the way back from phoenix i went to down shift, so i get to second gear without a problem, getting ready to down shift again, doing about 38MPH and i downshift into 1'st, then the rattling started for about two minutes before it stopped again, its hasn't done it again, but its getting annoying....

mario_82_ZXT Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 You're not supposed to downshift automatics to slow down. Doing so causes a lot of wear to certain parts (due to reversion of rotation). You're only supposed to downshift when accelerating so that the reversion doesn't happen (a la kickdown switch is one way). I believe it's been talked about here before.
