weird sound after trans and rear diff fluid change
Ok so this weekend I changed my tranny fluid to uncle scottys cocktail. the rear diff I changed to redline 75w90.
After filling to all proper levels I took the car for a testdrive and noticed a weird sound that got me to almost **** my self. when i give the car gas in gear (I can bareily touch it or floor it, sound doesnt change) i get this weird sound. Its not really a grinding sound. its def a metal on metal sound though. Its very hard to describe. once i heared this i went home and let the car sit overnight. today I went out and checked the fluids. It looked like i overfilled the tranny a tad so i drained some fluid out untill the tranny dipstick read just above the L mark when cold. gave it a very tiny bit of gear oil. I could still give it a bit more but I decided to wait to drive the car again. I re-did the rear diff. It seemed like a didnt get nearly enought gear oil in there. right here, I was convinced the sound i heared was from lack of gear oil in the rear diff. So i filled it untill the fluid started leaking out of the fill hole. recommened spec. a tad less than a quart. I took it for a test drive, the sound is still there but seems like it might be a little quieter. can anyone tell me what it is? if it were the rear diff, wouldnt it make the sound all the time? like if i wasnt in gear, If i wasnt giving it gas etc.?

oh yea...
the car drives fine. It def shifts smoother and and drives smoother. I was hoping the sound was from the cocktail. because it seems like its a light mixture that would maybe make the sounds from the tranny louder than before. |
