Transmission probs

[Hilfigar]

Sup Explorers!!!
My first post. I just found this site and I love it. I just moved here (Dallas), from FL and am looking for fun things and people. Please give any advise you have.
My transmission '96 Sport, stock, is making a funny noise. When it is in gear and at a light or stopped with my brakes on, I can feel something rattling right under my feet. Its a quick thud, thud, thud, thud. The noise and vibration stop as soon as I give it gas. It shifts on time, with no slipping. What could be causing this?
Thanks,
Jerry

my auto trans makes someone a loud noise when changing gears... esp from park to reverse... also when i stop and start going again it will make the same clunk.. almost like a really hard shift... i think that part might be my brakes letter off though, they are most likely VERY dirty and need replaced

trany probs

It sounds like it could be your U joint. I have almost no tech experience, but that sounds like you might want to have it looked at.

i check my u bolts every so often , the sound seems to come from thefront though.... either the front brakes or the transmission

If you are looking for a good transmission shop, in the Dallas area, I would recommend looking into Eagle Transmission shop. They do good work, and are good about giving accurate quotes. I would strongly recommend this place. They have a location in Plano and one in Garland. At least those are the locations that I know of. Let me know what specific are you are in in Dallas and I will find that location nearest you.

 

[Hilfigar]

Cool. I am near Audalia, and Kingsly. I think Garland is pretty close to here, maybe 15-20 minutes. I'm still working on getting my bearings straight, its a big city and I've only driven a couple of days. My tranny went bad on the move out, and now its speaking up! I will look them check eagle out in the phone book. Did you have work done there?

Here you go:

Yes he has had work there. The shop is spotless, and they dont hide anything. Go to the one in Plano if you can. They will do my next tranny

 

[WannaBTrckmagik]

Yes, I did have some work done on a few cars there and haven't had any complaints whatsoever. My family has had all work done there. No explorers, a Lexus, 2 Pontiac's, and a Mitsubishi. I would strongly recommend them.

Either location is good, but like Trckmagik, I would recommend the one in Plano.

The guy that I dealt with is the Manager and his name is Andy Adams. The phone number there is 972-596-3600. They'll take care of you if you go to that one!

 

[Hilfigar]

Eagle

Thanks guys. I spoke with Andy Adams. He will look at it today. Thanks!

 

[WannaBTrckmagik]

No problem!

 

[Hilfigar]

Muchas gracias

Hey guys...wendt to Eagle and Andy said, and I quote..."I would love to sell you a new transmission, but I can't. It doesn't need it.
He sent me to his engine guy, Brad @ The Engine shop on Plano PKWY...Props to these guys. It turned out my engine pulley tensioner and my $motor mount$ had gone bad. $550 dollors later my truck is running well again. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the group, or elsewhere. Thanks for all your help.

'96 Sport My Ford is happy again.

Yikes! $550! Most of that is labor, those motor mounts can be a bi&$% to get too.....

I'm in the wrong business...............

Eagle Transmission is one of the best, most honest shops I have been too. Thus the reason why my family and I have been using them for a few years now. Like I said in previous post's, I would recommend them to anyone.
