OK another problem developing

When i change from park to drive or park to reverse there's a grating noise.

It shifts the the gears very smoothly otherwise

Any ideas

Thanks

 

That is a normal noise that the transmission makes, both of my Durango's make the same noise and they both have the 4.7 auto. trans.

 

what world are you living in, mine doesnt make any noise going into gear never has and i HOPE that it never does

although im not sure what he means by 'grating noise'

 

OK

its as though its not engaging in the gear fully from Park or Neutral to both drive and reverse and makes a grinding type noise.

Doesnt do it all the time though

 

hmmm thats an odd, one, might want to make a new thread, and get in touch with master tech, hes the tranny expert around these parts

 

They make a clicking type of noise once in a while. It is not a grinding noise. Only does this when starting up cold and putting it in gear. That is the noise I am referring to.

 

+2 on MasterTech. Grinding is not a good noise to have on any vehicle much less the D.

 

pete, i have never heard it from my truck, but im always inside in that scenario so unless its not a real loud sound i wouldnt expect to hear it ill have to do some tests tomorrow with the doors open to see if i get the sound

It is really hard to describe and like I said before, it happens once in a while. My girlfriend has a 1998 Sebring and I can hear it on hers once in a while too. Does not affect the transmission as far as shifting goes while driving, just a peculiar noise when it happens.
