FFS i just got my auto gearbox rebuilt and shift kitted. First drive took the Karnt out and now its grinds like **** in 1 and 2 gear. sounds like bearings or metal. Wtf do i do?

take it back and get them to take it for drive. might go asway after little bit though. my mates stato had full rebuild and was bit noisy for first 100-150 k's.

Confirm what gearbox pls, ie jatco, trimatic etc Also that you have checked trans fluid level after initial warm-up/drive ? Did you fit the box,and so can confirm the convertor is correctly installed ? MT

brand new converter and was warmed up uno, got a new trannie cooler in it too.. It sounds like its around the area where the tail shaft joins up

MT sorry i think i was drunk last night, but Yeh fluids ok, i got a workshop to fit the gearbox and the converter seems ok, Its making a noice around the uni joint where the tailshaft connects to the box. But its a internal noice. its a Jatco auto and there is a compartment just before the tail shaft joins. i think somethign is buggered there, Cause teh car can go forward , but when i put it in reverse it just seems to be getting caught...

rear torrington bearing has probly colapsed, thats if they kept the plastic one and didnt upgrade it to a needle roller, might explain the sound at the back. i could however be completely wrong stop driving it before you completely **** it and get it towed to whoever built the box, something is wrong and it needs to be stripped back again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

far out... yeh i reckon its gotta be that bearing, i put it in neatral and jack up the rear of the car and the wheels spin ok forward, but its jammed going back'

Possibly the park brake hasnt been installed properly. Its a lever that sits inside the last auto gearbox housing.

um maybe but it sounds like bearings, i cant hear any crunching noices, but sounds like some bearings have be destroyed. definately in the rear section of the gearbox.
