Scott Mckenzie Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Went out to do my weekly warm up of my car,started her up and heard noise like the exhaust pipes rattling . Next was a whirring sound. I put her in reverse and ...nope no reverse, drive,no dice. This was not part of my plan! Fluid is full and red so my Fall will be pulling motor and trans (easier to pull both at the same time) I`m hoping it`s something wrong with the torque converter but who knows until I can get it into a shop that understands these Transmissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KongaMan Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Would hope I'm wrong, but that's what mine sounded like when the front pump went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KongaMan Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) No idea; the pump's internal. Everything looked fine from the outside, if that's what you're asking. I'll also add this: I got it repaired at the local Buick dealer. It lasted about 1000 miles until it went out again in the middle of east Texas. Some good ol' boy working out of a quonset hut put in a new one for a fraction of what the dealer had charged, and said the old one got chewed up because it was installed incorrectly. That second pump is still in there today. Edited August 19, 2017 by KongaMan (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
