weird engine or tranny noises on 95 3.3l - 12/13/2006 3:45:34 AM    no_name   Posts: 14 Joined: 12/7/2006 Status: offline car makes a dull wobbly sound and its louder in gear, its not a tick or thump it sounds like a bad bearing but it seems to be coming from the tranny, it clunks going into reverese, and it also shifts hard into the first few gears while driving, like it shifts hard 2 times and then its smooth, u hardly notice it shift after that, tranny is leaking but not from the pan, levels are ok, added some trans-x stop leak/slip seems to be louder now, tranny doesnt slip, car drives great aside from the noise and hard first 2 shifts, any advice is greatly appreciated Post #: 1

How is the diff. oil level? I ask because on a normal RWD, a clunk in the rear end (differential) when the vehicle is put in reverse is usually a spider gear (I think that's the name). I'm not sure what the equivalent on this kind of drive system would be like, but I have a feeling your problem may be there. I think many people over look the differential on this car because of the way it's mounted. Good luck PS, I think the differential uses a special blended oil, I would buy it only from the dealer parts store, just in case. (in reply to no_name) Post #: 2
