no but if it had never been changed it would idicate the tranny goin. a auto doesnt normally grind when something is wrong thats y were lookin elsewhere. can u get a recording of it so we can hear, that would help alot.

 

yes i will get it recored right now thanks for the help ill post it when i get back

 

well when i tryed recording it the wind messed the sound up so i wont be able to get a good recording on it sorry

 

is it vibrating, can u feel it as well as hear it? is a metal sound or a thumping, clicking or clanging? like a grinding missed 2nd gear kinda sound? any squeeling sounds? lol not the tires either can u explane the sound a little better?

 

Could it be a starter bendix hanging up and letting the teeth on the fiy wheel hit the outter edge?

 

the sound is a metal grinding also sounds like gears grinding together.then i can also feel a vibration at the under the center console and my seat it is really bad when i go in reverse.

 

well if u check all the things we have suggested, make sure the starter is tight, make sure the converter cover is not lose then take it off and see if the flexplate gears look like something has been rubbing on it, look at anywhere u can to see if something has fresh damage to it. if none of that then i would look to the tranny. there are gears in there, drive gears, and im sure they can go, ive never seen it happen and ive abused my share of cars.

 

Okay thanks for all your help. You saved me a lot of time and money.

 

check the transmission mount too. tranny can lift up and make the vibrations from the motor tranfer. make a thunk first then u feel the vibration and noise then will smooth it the trans drops back down. freaked me out the first time it happened to me. lol anyways if it ever happens...

 

i was going to check the mount while i was down there thanks for the advice
