Subject: My turbo 400 is Whining after a mechanic worked on my car by GPGG70 on 2009/10/12 5:58:59 Took the 70 vert into a mechanic to have a tune up & a general check up before I went to Eureaka Springs weekend. Before I took the car to the shop it sounded fine with no whining. Now when I start the car it whines till the trans gets good and warmed up. The question is, What could this mechanic have done to the car to cause this whining and a FYI I had changed the transmission fluid and filter and installed a new pickup tube o-ring before it went to the shop and drove it around for a few days before sending the car to the shop. Now the mechanic said the problem is the trans pump seal and I'll have to pull the transmission to fix the problem. Does this sound correct? Also keep in mind that the trans seem to hit hard going from first to second but seems ok from second to third. So I asked the mechanic to see what he thought and that this trans might have a shift kit in it as well. Question, Does this sound like I need to have this trans checked immediately, or is this something that will not hurt the trans and can be run for a while, say for a short 50 to 70 mile cruises from time to time. I'm getting ready to call an outfit tomorrow to have them check the trans but wanted to ask the question here first to see what some of you thought about the problem. I want the car to run right and not have to worry about the tranny but then also was wanting not to have to dump a load of cash into the trans right now. Thanks for any info. |
