Vibration and metal noise

[dave_id]

2000 GT

I made a right turn and then the car made slight vibrations. And then i started to hear some metal noise. Like there was metal marbles in my transmission.
a neutral rev at a stop does not duplicate the noise. I only hear the noise when im kind of getting on it and above 1.9k. And the vibrations come. I am hoping and praying it isnt my transmission. I could be something dealing with my suspension and wheel assembly. Any help is appreciated

Well, so, does it do it only when you turn? Have you checked the tranny if you suspect it, to see if there is sufficient fluid? Check all the fluids, especially the trans and power steering first, then road test it and see what it takes to replicate the sound. Sounds like suspension/steering to me.

My first thought was wheel bearings (hub) ... But if it sounds like it's in the transmission then check the fluid, as mentioned ...

i'll check the fluids when I get home... I'm in SD and just watched the Colts lose to the Chargers, magically

Let us know what you come up with.

I came home, started the car, tried to drive it and reproduce the noise... nothing.
no more vibrations and no metal noises... it scares me though because something could be breaking without me knowing and trying to prevent it...

If it makes you feel somewhat better, get under the front of the car and check the suspension components to see if there is anything immediately obvious that has damage starting. Check the rubber boots around the tie rod ends, ball joints, and check the rack and pinion. Look up at the power steering hoses and look for leaks. Jack the car up and push at the top and pull at the bottom of each wheel and see if they move excessively. Other than that, if you suspect the trans, then be sure to watch the fluid level. If you REALLY suspect the trans, maybe consider a fluid and filter change. A lot of noises that come from the front end are mistaken for motor or trans problems.

I just did the trans fluid 4 months ago. But im not sure, we'll see tomorrow! thanks for the tips
