my car sounds like it is grinding where the tranny is but only going up a hill or when there is major tension.but when i push on the gas it stops for a second then starts again.then after it does that for a while it starts doing it in nutral and while it is idleing . Anyone have any ideas on what it is or how to fix it?????

 

um... what trany is in it?

 

it is in 99 v6 camaro and it is an auto

 

i would look at the carrier bearing and u joints first.

 

does it make the noise when you are sitting still too or only when you are moving?

 

it makes the sound during both

 

has anything hit the inspection plate pushing it back against the flywheel?

 

not that i can see but i can double check cause it sounds like gears are grinding and it is coming from the shifter so i know its the tranny

 

yah its not the carrier bearing or the u joints if it does it at a standstill. like duck says check to see if the converter cover is lose or damaged and while your down there check to make sure the starter is not lose. maybe take the converter cover off and make sure the converter bolts are tight. whens the last time u had the tranny serviced? need to change fluid in em every 50k or so.

 

i did the tranny service about 5000 miles ago but i am going to take it to do it again do u that is all it could be?
