tranny going ????

[412HOE]

yesterday my 96 hoe started making a crazy noise , sounds like its coming from the tranny ... sound almost like theres no fluid , check it but its full , almost like something is rattlein around inside the torque converter or something , althuogh it seems to be shifting just fine.....forgot to mention that i think i need a tranny mount cause when in reverse you have to drift back , if you give it too much gas in reverse it makes a loud clunk noise then a horrible grinding , whineing type sound

immediately check your torque converter and flex plate bolts. as far as the reverse problem goes the sunshell may be broken which can cause that noise and a noisy second gear would follow or hava a leak in the reverse apply circuit. It is smart to not run it except for testing to prevent further severe damage. If that cluck is when it engages the greverse gear then line pressures are an issue and are usually a result of a problem with the boost valve.

do not know if it helps but I just had mine do the same and after troubleshooting my flywheel was cracks between the bolts, my noise was heard the most or louder around the converter, like a radry rattling..

mine makes more noise at idle in park , quiets a little when pu in gear and driving

Man I swear that's just what I was dealing with... Dealer told me it was the oil pump, but I found out it was the flex plate bolts, I could take out all 6 by hand... Someone forgot to use lock-tite on them... Just unbolt the tourqe converter from the flex plate, grab a big screw driver and push the tourqe converter back into the tranny (only goes like an inch or 2) and look to see if those bolts are backing out at all... Wiggle the flex plate it may jiggle which it should Not do...

Here is what I found;

the torque converter bolt would be easy to do. The flex plate bolts would require you to move the tranny back enough to get a torque wrench with an open end adapter or socket on them. It is doable just a tranny is kind of in the way that's all.
