98 Neon Tranny Trouble

restricted filter or line are the cheap options next is trans overhaul time

So think a tranny flush that you see advertised every now and than might help?

Joe,

A tranny flush, filter replacement, and fluid fill is your lowest cost option at this point.

Good Luck!

I've got a spare down Dodgy Dave's lockup on Canvey Island. Just send cash. <Splutter>

just a thought its not your power steering pump it would also change pitch with engine speed

Classic torque converter. Flush, change filter and refill. Use tranny medic or similar high viscosity "mechanic in a bottle" afterwards. Not much to lose at this point, but the flush may kill it.

This is exactly what a local mechanic also said.He said 9 times out of 10 when this is doing this when they do a tranny flush, the tranny shortly dies soon after it.

He said it's more or less toast anyway right now and if it was his he'd just use it till it gets too bad to drive at all. he has had customers do this and some die in a month, and he even has had others go 10K miles more before croaking. so I guess thats what I'll do. just run it till it dies.

Yeah, the tranny flush unless done regularly tends to kill them. The varnish in the transmission change the tolerances for the already precision parts inside. Then when the flush dissolves it all the tolerances are all out of whack.

It can really screw things up, messing up the pressure/vacuum balance something fierce.
