Hello all,
I picked up a 2002 OB wagon, 2.5L automatic a month ago. When leaving a dead stop in gear, there is a grinding sound that I can also feel in the floorboard when the engine RPM passes a given point. It 'feels' like something in the transmission, possibly the torque converter, but I haven't ruled out the possibility that the differential is the culprit. It is also more pronounced when the car is warmed up. Having owned a 2000 OB, and having flushed the tranny, with good results, by way of the the fluid cooler lines in a total loss/gain configuration, I am prepared to perform this measure again. Do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? Any and all advice is most appreciated.
John
