But once your car is at higher speeds going into 3rd, 4th and 5th causes the driveshaft to vibrate so much that would cause more of a disturbance within the tranny(?). Does it grind if you put it in 3rd gear at a stand still? The vibrations usually would come from a rotating force that is out of balance. Another thing that I can think of (since this had happened to my sister) is a crack pressure plate(?). Just throwing things out there for you... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,5,1,20,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> sounds related to the rear diff gears to me, does the sound go away if you clutch / go into neutral while on the freeway at speeds where the noise is happening? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>triple b</b> <br /><small>Member # 8763</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,5,1,21,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If your tranny is grinding when you shift the gears down or up usually means the syncro rings are bad...time to rebuild it if there is grinding noise while driving and the car is in one gear its the rear end if your driving and there is excessive vibrations its your driveline..hard to tell from just your post... <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
