Noticed a noise/light grinding a few days ago in the 15-30mph range, especially going up hill. No problems at the higher speeds.
Trans fluid level is OK.
Any input is well appreciated !

Thanx,
Mike from Mass.

 

Could be a overdrive reaction plate that could be cracked or a planetary starting to come apart. Thats if you have the 41TE trans, 61TE have had a problem with the number 5 thrust bearing. From the 15-30 mph range.

 

an 06 aint gonna have a 6speed. od reaction plate cracked aint never heard of that one and od aint gonna come on at 15-30mph anyway. a light grinding noise is impossible to figure out on the internet gotta hear that one could even be something totally unrelated to trans all together!

 

This forum is for members to share information on problems that may help them. Nobody is saying this is the problem and here is the fix. The reason you may not heard of any of these problems is because you haven't been doing dodge transmission for 35 years. That right you can't hear the grinding sound on the internet, but with what you know could help others. And with all the mods that everyone is doing, how you know Mike didn't drop a 4.0L and 62TE into their 06 minivan. Mike have the brakes checked and drive axles look at too.Or you can send a pm. And circumventor start thinking of your self as avg joe or a customer who is having problems with they cars/trucks, not as tech who knows everything about automobiles. Because nobody does.

 

before yall starts flaming me, yall dont know my knowledge but i'd bet i got u matched on trans exp. been rebuilding trannys for over 40yrs now and still going. back in the 60's when i was building them ford borg warner autos i hated them junk things. when the 604'[s came out in 89 i loved them and made tons of money. probly built over 4000 of them. i even sent chrysler a pic and thanks for this trans. took a pic of one on the front steps of my new house with a thanks to them for building my new house. never heard back form them.

an yall relaly think the mans got a 4.0 and 6speed in his 06 ya rite. thats pretty dumb to say

 

Come on man, how about in English?

 

Have you ever seen a cracked reaction plate on the o/d? I do know your knowledge so don't play dumb to me!

 

nope aint never seen an o/d plate broke but 100s of snaprings allot of od hubs, and carrier stripped, blown diffs, exploded planets, but then none of these things make a noise thats described
