Reman Trans Noise 2019 Grand Caravan
I have a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.6L 62TE transmission. 66k miles.
So my transmission recently went out and I purchased a new one from Dodge. I did all the work myself and and it went fairly easy to be honest. Only thing that bugged me the whole time was there wasn’t much room for my fingers to spin the torque converter once the transmission and engine were mated together but I did have a good clearance between torque converter and flex plate before I bolted together so I assumed all would be well. Fast forward everything is in, cooler flushed, I can drive the van and it shifts through its gears ( I still need to do quicklearn, just went around the block to verify shifting) and everything was great. Well today I started it up and I hear almost like a bad bearing groan which sounds like coming from trans but really hard to isolate the noise because it’s not extremely loud. But it’s noticeable. It does it in all gears and park and neutral. Did I miss something? Something I could have messed up I should check? Brand new trans with converter, was seated fully before install, didn’t mate engine and trans with bolts, did everything by the book for the most part. Idk if I just need to do the quicklearn and break it in a bit but I’m afraid to drive it and ruin a new trans. Any advice would be appreciated before I decide to drop trans again.
