Okay so I went out to 7-11 today, and on my way back, (short 5 minute trip, less then a mile) I had to slow down for a bus that was letting kids out. While I was decelerating, I felt a grind and a vibration. It went away and I drove off.
On my way to class, at low RPM keeping with traffic around 30 MPH I felt and heard it again several times. I took the car out of OD and still had the same issue. Sooo I was already basically at class (again less then a 10 minute drive, maybe 2 miles) got there and parked. After class, when the car cooled down, I drove home and nothing.
A side note to all of this is I am having trouble getting into reverse. It takes about 5 seconds, sometimes longer for the whole car (including reverse lights and my "backup" camera) to engage into reverse.
I am thinking that the shifting linkage needs to be adjusted, could this be the issue with the grinding as well? This seems to only happen when the car is fully warmed up.
I did check the tranny fluid, all is fine, used Mercon V (sp?) and it does not smell burnt, nor do I have any leaks.
What do you guys think?
Thanks! :burnout:
