Help ...!
So my new SVX isn't fairing so well. Some chick ran a stop sign and I T-boned her the other day .. surprisingly little damage to my front end (hood popped a bit) but still, not a good thing.
I've had a problem thats been bugging me for a few weeks .. there is a "ticking" sound coming *when the car is in gear* starting around 2k rpm. I first figured the engine was low on oil or it was the lifters and got an oil change + seafoam .. to no avail. I noticed if I put the car in NEUTRAL and rev it .. the engine sounds great! It sound very powerful and smooth. NO ticking sound. So that can only leave the tranny right? I don't even know how to check the tranny fluid though ( i have no documentation and cant find a thread anywhere :( .. I'm guessing you have to get under the car right? I'd hate to blow the tranny .. it shifts a little rough sometimes coming out of 1st but otherwise shifts ok. I was told the tranny was rebuilt but cannot confirm it. Help, anyone? |
the tranny fluid stick is just under the brake booster, i think it was a red handle - forget.
no need to go under the car |
It could also be a cracked flexplate....
Cheap part:D ....expensive to install:eek: |
Where is the flexplate located? I've been having the same problem with my car, but the ticking really isn't bad its just enough to notice it. I know my tranny is fine because mine was just rebuilt, but I know something is a little bit off somewhere
|
The flex plate is between the motor and the transmision....the tranny has to come out to replace it..
If it's a "Light" ticking, it may just be the injectors. Lifters can tick too, but are noticable louder than the injectors. |
ok so where are my injectors and what needs to come off to check them? ...and thanks for the info!
|
Well if it's the injectors...they are supposed to click, but their click is not "Annoyingly" loud, such as a lifter tap is...
