HELP!!! transmission going out
ok, I started up my truck last night, and when I put it in gear it made this awful grinding noise...sounded like 2 metal faces rubbing against each other, not like gears grinding...so I didn't think to much of it
well, today when I started it up, it did the same thing, except worse...so I got out and checked, didn't see anything wrong, just a bad noise; I drove down the road abit, and I come up to a stop light...turns green, give it gas...and I'm not moving...it revs up to almost 2g then, all a sudden I'm going; I have the 4spd automatic trans, but it felt like someone revved up the motor and popped the clutch; and it makes the grinding sound even worse when that happens...I stopped by a car care place and they said it may be the planetary gear going out, but couldn't really tell until taking the casing off...but from the sound and performance, both him and I are pretty sure I'll need a new trans....any suggestions fellas? what are my options? I have the 4spd automatic trans....any chance I could get me a 6 spd....or should I just do a rebuild....any and all suggestions welcomed
