Hi everyone, my name is Gary and I reside in Michigan and I need some help on a 98 Avenger that is having transmission shifting problems. Ok guys, I recently purchased a 98 avenger from a family friend for $300. My main concern for it was it didn't leak anything, and it started right up, its for my son. As soon as I started it up I could hear this whining noise, only when you go to give it gas. It does it when its in gear or in park. Yesterday the CEL came on and the trans started slipping out of gear when you come up to a stop. In order to get it to go back into gear you have to give it quite a bit of gas, about 2000 RPM's. Also at this time I pulled to codes off of it and they were, 0302, 0731, 0732, 0733, 0734, 1782 and 0700. I know the 0302 is a misfire and I'm pretty sure I got this taken care of with the plug wires & plugs. From my research the 0700 codes are coming up the transmission solenoid. I guess my question is this, could a bad solenoid be causing the slipping and the whining noise? I know its only a $300 car but hay... Cant beat it for your kids car huh, lol.
Oh yeah, I have a line on a transmission out of a 97 avenger that had the v6 in it. Will it fit into my 98?

 

Will move this to the avenger section for ya.

 

the 97+ use the same tranny (assuming its for the same engine ) since you don't state what motor you have ...

The "whining" can be tons of things bad tensioner bearings , bad alternator bearings bad A/C compressor ect ect besides a tranny pump ect
