Issues shifting While driving the RPM's rev up past four while the car is still going to same speed. It makes a whining sound from as soon as i start it up and doesn't stop until i shut it off. It makes a big clunking sound sometimes when it shifts.

There are a couple of things to check. If your power steering pump is low on fluid, or a bad bearing is in the Alternator, they will whine. The PCV valve or any hole in the Vacuum lines will whine as RPM is increased. Even having the Air filter box not fully seated will make a whining noise.

Now both automatic and manual transmissions can whine as RPM is increased. Check fluid for each.

Serpetine belt and pulleys-can make noise.

Sometimes you can shift into neutral at any speed and the engine rpm will drop almost instantly as the car rolls at speed. If the problem disappears as soon as the rpm drops, then an engine part probably is the reason.

Well lift the car up and put it on drive wile you can hear what the knock is. See if is your engine or the transmission. And if ok check your spark plugs make sure you getting fire to them

Due for a transaxle rebuild,common on that veh

The fact you continued to drive it when it won't
shift correctly & has been slipping, your done

Sounds like your transmisson is going, i had the same problem.

Check the prongs on the #1 coil to see if it is crackd if it is left alone it will eventually turn to a multiple misfire, also take the coil off to make sure nothing is shorting out.

Hi just wondering if you fixed the problem?

either the torque converter is breaking up inside or the flex plate that holds it to the crank is broke or breaking around the bolts that hold it to the crank

Hi,

Thanks for using FixYa!

I understand that you are having transmission problems. Sadly there is only one solution with the problems that you have mentioned. You need to have your automatic transmission overhauled.

I hope you get this problem sorted out right away. Have a nice day.

Run the car from the top of a hill and let it coast at your whining speed. Put it in Neutral, does the whine disappear?
If not its in the drivetrain (wheels, driveshafts, tranny)
Very unlikely to be the timing belt. If it appears at a fixed speed then its drivetrain, if it whines at fixed revs its the engine.
Most likey the transmission I fear....Tires will also make loud whining noise too though...
