Two Christmas's ago I was driving over a mountain pass and my automatic transmission got really hot. When I pulled over I saw trail of Tranny oil behind my car on the snow. The radiator line had died of old age and burst under the pressure and sprayed a couple quarts on to the hood. I had the car towed, thinking I fried the tranny, and brought it home. When I got home I replaced both oil lines and refilled the transmission. To my relief the car still runs like it did before the incident. BUT for the last year or so I have noticed some awful sounds coming from what sounds like the transmission. First off is the reverse gear which I have a video for: Is this just a bearing? Or is the gear toast? It gets louder when spun faster. The other noise is when I am in 1st or 2nd gear accelerating and turning (turning right at an intersection from a stop for example) there is a similar buzzing grinding sound but you have to have the windows open to hear it. I don't have a video of that yet. Its hard to capture I have replaced both cv axels, wheel bearings, tie rods, and ball joints. The car seems to drive fine unless you turn really hard and accelerate, then it feels like it goes into neutral then skids back into gear again.

Hello everyone! I was wondering if I could get some advice before I begin my next project. My intake manifold gasket seems to be worn out, there is a whistle coming from just behind the ac compressor, when I spray maf cleaner in the area the engine jumps up in rpms, so I have it narrowed down to the gasket.. My car has 258,000 miles and most of the parts are still stock,I have been replacing things as they die. But now i want to be proactive and help myself in the long run and was hoping you guys could help While I am taking the car apart for the intake manifold gasket is there any other parts i should replace or clean?? Fuel filter, fuel injectors, vacuum houses, or any seals that I should retouch ? I want to take care of any parts that are known for failure while I'm in there:] advice would be great, thank you! 93 LEGACY 2.2l 257,000 miles, no egr valve.
