Try cking the axle shaft nuts first, they maybe loose. 160 to 180 ft pounds. Also ck your motor mounts too.

 

I was thinking about motor mounts too! Too cold to work on it anyways! Thanks for the fast reply! Will keep you updated on the issue

 

Also bad CV joint Axle and bad ball joints can cause similar noises

 

Can somebody give me a quick rundown of whats involved getting the trans out?? I have good tech skills, but never really been into FWD stuff before. I have pulled lots of RWD trans and do alot of offroad work on trucks. I have replaced the timing belt, water pump, etc in the car already so I know a little bit about it. You say I have to pull the front suspension??

 

There are three ways to pull it ...
First : Pull motor tranny out the top ,.. unbolt everything and disconnect motor mounts/tranny mounts and use a cherry picker to manuever it out ...

Second: drop motor tranny out the bottom... you'll need to "lift" the body over it

Third: disconnect the tranny and manuever it out by itself ... Very hard as there is limited room and major dissassembly of suspension needed

 

gosh dangit... i think i have the same problem...

It's getting there at least.. i'll start my car up start heading down the road and generally when it's not warmed up yet it does a little burst of rpm and sounds like it kicks hard into the next gear even though i give it the same amount of gas, the car rocks forward and back a little bit too when that happens, after that it's normal the rest of the drive...

any ideas?

how much is replacing a tranny gunna cost me if it goes bad?

 

check the level first ???

 

ok, so the trans from the 98 sebring was sold. I found another yard with a 95 cirrus that has 65k on it for 350. I asked for sure and he said that it would swap.....!!?!?

So....

Will a 95 cirrus auto trans fit my 97 avenger? I would like to know for sure before I go through the hassle of buying it and it not working.

Thanks

 

I was told it will fit but there are wiring sensor issues

 

I am supposed to pick it up this afternoon. What kind of wiring issues? Can I make it work or not? Please help! Thanks

Maybe I can swap the sensors out of my old unit??
