Help with Noise

[robbc]

Hi all,

 

I hope you can help me.

 

My transmission is making a weird noise.  My IMS/RMS was replaced at 96K miles and I'm now at 106K.

 

Here's a video of the problem:

 

 

Thank you.

A common source of that type of noise is the muffler heat shields.

Check for loose muffler heat shields or if they are touching either the muffler or the car body.

Thanks! I lifted her to see and all looks fine with the exhaust and heat shielding. Any other thoughts? Pinion bearing, worn transmission mount?

Well, next on my list would be to inspect both the motor mounts and the transmission mount.

Engine mounts are known to fail eventually.

Ok thanks. I will check and report back.

I hope there is oil in the gear box, just take a look you never know.

check the cats.  when going out there could be a rattle noticed at startup from one or both.
