The transmission isn't by any chance leaking fluid and that's why it's making noise? I only ask because that happened to me, and I just kept putting fluid in until I was able to get it fixed. We're talking 6 months or so of ghetto-fix.
Car stuff sucks. Good luck!
I did that add fluid stuff with a bad radiator in the 90s for about 8 months until I could afford to buy a new car.
Eeeek. Let me know if you need Restorative Cocktail with Gal Pal. I am Available. (you know, the man-fast and all. and i need a wing woman. I promise not to wear leggings.)
Eric - No. My Car is Not Leaking Fluid. It is just Very Cranky In The Morning. And, um, Driving it in Reverse isn't always Something It Likes. So, I just keep going Forward. But, then, by the time it Warms Up, like 20 Minutes Later, it is Totally Fine. Kind of like Me!
Amy - I greatly enjoy Restorative Cocktails with Gal Pal! I feel like I haven't seen you in Forevah! Please, No Leggins or Micro Minis. Otherwise, I may be forced to Write You A Ticket.
