Convertor coming apart, you may need it diagnosed by the dealer or trans
shop.

Subject: DML: Tranny noises/problems
> Recently my transmission (I assume) has been making strange noises.
> Here's what happens:
> I start the truck after it has sat a while (overnight or through the day)
> I back it out of the garage or parking spot.
> It makes a pretty loud scraping type sound...very strange.
> I put it in drive and it will make it while idling around the parking lot,
> and will increase in sound with a little gas.
> However, when you give it gas to move onto the road, the noise is heard
for
> a brief second and then dissapears...it's not heard anymore.
> The truck shifts great in all gears, and after it's warmed up the noise is
> not really heard when taking off from stoplights.
> Reason I suspect tranny:
> I cannot duplicate the sound with the tranny in park and reving the
engine.
> 3 times when I have backed out of the garage and onto the road, the truck
> has died when I put it in drive....just like turning the key off. These
> incidents happened about 2 weeks apart.
> The tranny has plenty of fluid and hasn't been low that I know of. I last
> changed it and the filter about 20,000 miles ago. The truck now has
90,000
> on it.
> My truck is a 95 V6 Automatic 4x4
> Any advice or possible causes are welcome.
