95 BLKDOUT Drop Top Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Ok if anyone remembers, I posted about having a ticking noise in my 3100 not too long ago. Ok so i start the thing up to get more detail in the damage to my engine. As I started it the thing was tickin but not too bad and it sounded a lil wierd as I revved it to about 2000-2500 RPM. So I drove it around the block to get the juices flowin and it was tickin real bad but I could hear the normal 3100 engine sounds under the tickin like everything was fine except for what ever the tickin is. so I get back home and park it driveway still runnin and went under the hood to listen. as revved it (via the throttle under the hood) the tickin was there but faintly and it was comin from the bottom or even from under the engine. so i put the parkin brake on and shifted it into drive and got back under the hood and revved it again. the tickin was so loud i could feel it, then i shifted it into neutral and the tickin almost went away. in reverse it returned but not as loud as drive. What the hell is wrong with my car? keep in mind that this car has gotten stuck in the snow repeatedly in the last few weeks and the differential has been workin over-time.

patgizz Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 getting a 4t60 stuck in the snow isnt good for it. they seem to be picky ass transmissions under most any condition other than normal dry road driving. what are you up to thursday night? i'm going to be working out in madison up on the lake all day and could drop by your place on my way home with my stethoscope and take a listen. i'll be coming down 271 to my place anyway. i dunno what time it would be around but i could call when i leave madison. pm again me with your cel # if thatll work for you, might save the bill from having a shop look at it.

95 BLKDOUT Drop Top Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 im thinkin about sellin the cutty ang use the money to get an 88-90 camaro IROC-Z 350TPI 6-speed convertible... TRIPPLE BLACK how many of those have you ever seen. My cutlass is a real nice car when nothins wrong but it seems to have more problems than plessure. and its slower than almost every "sport(y)" car out there. I got smoked by an 86 5.0 IROC-Z this past summer, it flew past me like i was stndin still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
