i have a 99 tl and i had some transmission problems this past winter, the dealer said that they had to replace a few parts but not the transmission.


now only when i put the car in reverse (while foot is still on break i hear a loud noise) it drives fine and i see no major issues i called the dealer and they told me i would have to pay to get the car diagnosed and then they can go from there. do you think the tranny is going up? i have about 80,065 miles.



Also whenever I go to turn the corner i hear a low bonk noise, its like bonk, but it doesnt sound like the cv boots or anything like that clicking noise.

This noise started shortly after I got my oild changed and my tires checked. When I took it back they said that they couldnt find anything loose, when I took it to another place they said it might be a rubber bolt loose are they just telling me anything.

please help.

 

Reverse noise clicking is normal, i have a new tranny and it does that too. As far as the sound is concerned, its funny because i have it too, but everything is fine. everytime i hit a bump i got a low clunk.

 

Could it be possibily be the ball joint in the front?
Althought I havn't encounter this problem yet.. Might want to have someone check that out.. Hope this help..

 

I have tein SS' installed and when i put them in i forgot to lube up the pillow ball mounts and when i drive over a bump it makes a clunk sound.

i hate the sound.. anyong have a solution to this? would removing the coilovers and re-lubricating them fic the prob?

 

I have a low rumbling sound too when i first put my car in reverse and have my foot on the brake. It's like a low grunt or moan. I had the dealer checked out twice and they couldn't find anything. You can't hear the noise from the outside, only in the cabinet. Dealer thought it was the AC blower, exchanged that but sound is still there. Paid like $200 total for 2 diagnose, parts and labor, and sound is still there. I got ripped!!

 

not sure but ill remember to ask someone about it . i want to know what it is and make sure its not anything major.

 

see thats what i dont want to do pay money that i really cant give them right now...

hopefully it will be okay but it is a grunting sound and it occurs only when i put it in reverse but you can hear it outside the car.

 

yup I have that very low groan as well when in reverse with the foot on the brakes. I believe it's the ABS doing a self test everytime you restart your engine...even if it's not, the fact that it only happens once, everytime I turn the engine on, and at the exact same moment doesn't worry me. It's probably normal.

 

Yep, that groan is the ABS doing a self test.

 

thanks guys i know i dont post alot but whenever i do i get great answers
