Baddflash Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 How much noise should one hear from a healthy trans? I've noticed that there is a fair bit of gear noise when the car is just idling. I do have to get fairly close to hear it but is this normal??? Thanks, EDIT: there's lots of syncromesh in there! Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 does the noise go away when you push in the clutch pedal? my TO bearing rattles (quietly) in neutral with the clutch engaged, but when i push the pedal in the rattling goes away. my previous 282 did the same thing. EDIT: the only time i have ever heard actual gear noise was when/while my last 282 blew chunks....lots of gear noise lol Quote
Baddflash Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Posted June 28, 2004 Well unfortuantely it's not the TO bearing. It is for sure gear noise which I can hear best from the housing in the drivers wheel well. I hope it's not dying cause these tranny's are hard to find!!! Did you have any problems other than noise before your tranny blew? :shock: It almost sounds like a noisy valvetrain. You can't hear it from inside the car or standing beside it, you have to be within a foot of the tranny so it's not that bad but I'm concerned now. Quote
cutlsp Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 don't be concerned i can prolly score you a couple trannies if you are willing to pay about 250 for each one plus shipping Quote

5speedz34 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 You can get 282's rebuilt though and for reletively cheap right? And Malibu did you ever take urs to a shop to see what had happened on the inside? Quote
