Transmission Making Noise..WTH

[SlyStoner421]

still runs and drive/shifts fine... but when I started the car earlier there seems to be a noise coming from the transmission... like maybe the TC? its a noise the stops briefly when I put it in reverse but then continues... its a clicking noise the is pretty loud that get louder as the rpms increase.

need help any advice would be great, I drive my bird 60mi a day and I have work tomorrow, what should I do? drivable?

[SlyStoner421]

okay, trans is dead today... went to work 20mi as im pulling in the TC must have went... is it safe to just buy a new TC? or should I Rebuild?

Rebuild while you have it out. It'd be dumb not to if you plan on keeping the car. I don't know if you are doing it yourself or paying but you can get a rebuild kit for like $200 if you plan to do it yourself.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions saying its the torque converter it could be a whole slew of things.

[SlyStoner421]

yeah well pretty much every symptom points towards it.. got it trailered to a heated garage with tons of tools so ill find out tomorrow

[DETROITMUSCLE]

if thats the case you might as well upgrade to a Yank while its apart you'll be very happy you did.

[SlyStoner421]

whats a yank?

[TSTONE]

more likely gonna need a sunshell and gear

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Yank is a company that makes performance torque converters and that will wake up your car big time.

I picked up a 2000 stall today for 150 bucks new, in the process of removing the trans, was thinking its probley a good idea to rebuild it but this couldnt have happened at a worse time. so im gunna press my luck and hope no damage was done... from the looks of things nothing is cracked or broke and no metal in the fluid

[TSTONE]

case is usually fine- its the hard parts that suffer the damage

take pix if you get a chance

[SlyStoner421]

alright update... spent the day removing and installing the trans. put in the new TC and once i was finished still no movement.

well at least I know what killed my TC.... no pump.
now ill spend tomorrow pulling it back out so its ready for the shop monday morning.

fyi 93 trans am's 4L60 is SPECIFIC to 93, (round connector plug vs. square)

[TSTONE]

more likely gonna need a sunshell and gear
