Ok I know i have made few posts like this one but this is really getting to me now cause even my dealership dont know what’s wrong :'(

Im driving along at about 60mph and i take my foot off the accelerator and a sound comes up from the transmission that sounds like an electric saw ... or someone is drilling.... its really loud. then when i put my foot back on the accelerator again it stops for a while till the next time i take my foot off...

I dont know much about the workings of the transmission but do you think it could be the torque converter? or do you think its a bigger problem than that...

also if i do need a new tranny does anyone know where or who i could get a used one from :-)

thanks very much
 






I don't have much experience with auto trannys but here is my guess... It sounds like it is a solenoid.
 






thanks,

yeah i got that on another post too and i told the dealership this and they asked me what a solenoid was! for real!
