Got a Dilema
Ok. Here's my dilema. Recently I had a brand new transmission put in my 5.0 b/c there was an annoying rattle that we thought at the time was b/c of the old transmission. Well....today I just got my car back with the new tranny and it's still making the noises. This makes me wonder if I spent $3000 for nothing. Keep in mind there are little to no miles on the tranny. I can get an exhaust clip if needed, but the noise is made only when moving. At idle all you can hear is the exhaust with a little bit of rattle.
Any of your opinions or advice here will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Got a Dilema
3k? come on... that must be a bulletproof tranny good to 800ftlbs
anyway, post a sound clip.
if it only makes noise when moving, its obviously a rotating part.
exhaust hitting the driveshaft, wheel bearings, axle bearings, pinion bearing, output shaft bearing.. the list goes on

RE: Got a Dilema
This might sound stupid but check your 02 sensors. In my other foxbody i had a rattle that drove me crazy. At idle could barely hear it but drive up the rpms and the rattle was bad. I checked everything under car i could think of, then when i was changing my gears i had both front and rear of car on jackstands and decided to check again and still could not find anything. But for some reason i checked my o2 sensors and the pass. side was loose as hell. Easiest and cheapest fix i have ever done.
