Transmission noise?

04 SRT10 · Nov 26, 2013

My car makes a slight growl in the transmission when its cold and when decelerating. It only does it in first gear and letting off the gas. It goes away after 5 mins and doesn't come back til it sits over night. Any suggestions?

Changed the fluid lately?

I only have 12000 miles. So, I doubt thAts it. I think it's clutch related. The guy I bought the car from said when he installed the headers that he got it too close to a clutch line and all the fluid leaked out. Could it just need to be bled?

Bleed it and find out

If the car was ever tracked, you can wear out the fluid in a weekend. I would change the fluid, esp if the car is new to you and you don't know the service or use history.

I'll change fluid and bleed clutch. I just have to figure out how to get under it. What's the best way when you don't have access to a lift?

Jack it up and put some jackstands under the car at the frame jack locations (little angle iron pieces welded to frame behind front wheels and in front of rear wheels). Make sure you have a level concrete pad to work on.

Going to harbor freight this weekend to get jack stands and a jack. Never should have moved out of my parents. Spoiled by having a shop and any tools necessary.
