The problem is when I am accelerating moderately/fairly hard in a straight line, I have this grinding noise and sensation. Its def from the front of the car. Once I am not accelerating anymore its all normal. I am sure that its not the bearings. I have had those go bad before and this is not it.

Do you think that its the axles? I dont hear a popping when I turn, but I can tell one of them is STARTING to go bad.

The car had a blown engine when I bought it. Is there any way that the engine blowing broke something in the tranny?
Anyone have the same symptoms and have it be something in the tranny???? I am really hoping its not the tranny.


Thanks in advance

Sounds like your passenger side cv joints are worn out even if the boot isn't tore. Same thing happened to me and some others.

Here's more on that:

Cool, I will check into that.

Thanks a bunch!!!

Alright, I changed the passenger side axle with a new unit. No change in the grinding or popping. Any other ideas?

Thanks

You're positive it's not a mount? Does your tranny make any funny noise at idle? Maybe it's a cv joint in your driver side axle?

I am VERY sure that its not a mount or the rear bracket. All those were new when I dropped the engine in just recently.

There are really no wierd noises that come from the tranny at idle, besides the TOB rattle, but that seems to be when its cold outside only.

Any more suggestions?

I know what sound you are talking about, but this is not it. This is only under moderate to hard acceleration.
