So everyone knows bout how my auto tranny is dying.... since it began to slip/ stall out... I noticed a grinding sound that's gotten worse...

It sounds like it's grinding, and I can feel it badly in the pedals when at a stop at idle in any gear. If I rev at all or am in neutral or park, the sound goes away. I undid the liner and listened, and it's coming from the crank side of the motor.... in the crank pulley/ ac compressor/ alternator area...

The sound there is comparable to a sc with bad bearings, but it's not the sc...


HELP

 

5SPD Conversion Time

 

well yeah.. but my question was concerning the sound being on the side of the motor where the pulleys are.

 

have you take off the drive belt and see if the noise is still there?

 

Hmm try a 6-speed swap Same p/n on a auto in both cars, maybe you can get a helical 6 speed out of a 2k2 to fit

I feel like calling Dave to see if he can tell me if it could work...

 

Jeff @ Maximum Tuning is doing the 6spd on his 4thgen swap. He has the tranny in there now. We;ll know in a few days if the 6spd will work with the 3.0 motor

 

Sweet. Any word on what 6-speed it is? Getrag? Factory with or without HLSD?

I think I need to book a week off in NYC.

*Edit : picture a 6spd from a 2002 with Quaife Hehe.

 

Factory new tranny with HLSD..

If his goes well, guess who's gonna be next

 

Me. This is one thing I will sell my new high stall TC for. Still new because it was supposed to get popped into my car in a few weeks with a new automagic....

 

seek help

 

I thought the 6spd wouldnt bolt up

 

it does @ max tuning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Any modifications that had to be done to the tranny ? I didnt think the axles would be the same lenght...

 

he changed soo much crap on it ..i cant even catch up.
but its on, should be rolling by end of may tops

 

my guess is he took the internals out and put them into the old 5spd..

 

Its not a bolt on job .

 

Just figured that part out. Forget it - I'm sticking to the automagic

I can't spend the week in NYC.. not for now..

 

so anyone else have any ideas on my problem?... I just don't want to swap and have the noise still there.

 

 

I didn't get a chance... but I did notice something... The car definately quietens down when I turn on the ac... You guys think it's actually the compressor or some component of the ac giving me a problem?... It still blows colddd air, but I think it's AC related.... Anyone have this experience?

 

It might be the A/C clutch going bad. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong.
