because waterpump is not leaking doesnt mean its not noisey.could have bad bearing thats noisey. remove belt and spin by hand see if you haer any noise and see if loose.

SOURCE: Awful noise from the transmission Will not shift

look for a re-built replacement tranny. probably cheaper than having yours re-built. also, could be problem with electronics. won't be cheap, either way! get a couple estimates- from shops you trust-ask your friends for recommendations! depending on mileage, and other 'little problems', you may want to consider a newer used vehicle. i know (believe me!) times are tough- but a car that won't go is useless! if you can get it fixed for a reasonable price, and it's otherwise in good condition, get it fixed! make sure you maintain it (oil change, fluid checks, brake replacements,timing belt replacements,etc.) then repairing or replacing the tranny may make financial sense. do the math!
good luck!

SOURCE: 2002 aurora, ticking/buzzing noise from front of

so it has some to do with rotation. you can jack one front wheel up, set parking brakes, start the car and put in drive. which ever side make noise, that's the one you need to inspect cv-axle, wheel bearing, ect.
check any thing that turns with the wheel

sounds like the pump in the Trans is getting weak, not putting out the presure it should. Off to the Transmission shop.

My rocam 1.6 how do i know if its my hydrallic lifters making a noise

If the noise goes away when the idle speed increases its not the lifters, check the oil pressure is ok at idle and increases with engine speed, check the oil is not to thin or wants changing, the oil pump relief valve may be stuck or the spring spring broken.

Gm 4.3 v6 upper engine noise at idle

Check ALL of your pulleys. Look closely at the tensioner pulleys with the belt off. If you feel any slack at all, replace it soon.

Jeep 360 rattle sound at idle in park

it could be a wrist pin, and im not sure if those amc's had hydraulic lifters but sometimes with old lifters when the oil pressure is lower at an idle the lifters arnt filling up all the way so they develope a little valve lash, and when the rpms are raised the oil pressure raises and fills the lifters. you could try chasing the noise down with an automotive stethoscope.

I replace the transmission fluid in my 96 b2300 5 spd a couple months ago. We had our first ice storm last week and I noticed a sort of whine coming from the transmission. Not typical transmission whine...

this sounds like you have a deffective clucth release bearing. in order to change it, the transmission will have to be remove. this may have been the result of moisture in the bearing cause by the snow. to avoid such situation again it is advisable that you park your vehicle in a covered and enclosed garage

Transmission oil smells burned,when you drive and the fluid gets hot it will not move but when fluid cold it goes find.Whinning noise coming from trans.sounds like pump starving

You may have 1 chance to save the transmission before it is too late.
Take it to a reliable auto center for a transmission flush, filter, and re-fill.
If you do not your clutch packs will be burned up, if they are not already.

There is a humming sound coming from the front end of my 1999 oldmobile alero. Only happens when the car is moving. I dont hear itat idle or even when pushing the gas at idle. could it be my transmission...

Hello! If the humming noise is speed related(gets louder as vehicle speed increases)check front wheel bearings. If the noise goes away when turning one way or the other then it will most likely be in the front wheel bearing. If you turn the wheel(while moving)to the right and the noise goes away it is on the right side. If you turn the wheel to the left and the noise goes away its on the left side. Hope this information helps!

Ticking or clicking noise in the engine while at idle speed

The "lifters" are valve lifter, not oil lifters. They are best described as hydraulic cushions. They use the engine oil pressure to expand and take up the slack between components. As the engine wears, clearances increase and the oil pressure decreases at idle. The ticking goes away with an increase RPM because the oil pressure increases. Using an additive like STP to thicken the oil some might stop it. It isn't uncommon or serious. I had a car once that had lifter noise unless I used Rislone detergent additive to keep varnish from building up around the lifter making it stick. The symtom of coolant in the oil is milkey foam. Some synthetic oils go in clear then turn red or purple. Relax and enjoy the next 100,000 miles. Keep the oil and air filter changed and watch for a leaking water pump. Overheating because the water pump seal or thermostat failed is the death of an older engine. If you want to be proactive, have these and the radiator hoses changed. Avoid a made in China water pump if possible.
