SO here's what i've got. 55 special 264 w/ dynaflow. I think the front pump on the trans is going. As you get uo to speed aroung 50mph the trans( or rearend) starts to whine and kinda of squeel. SO lound in fact that my wife can here it in the vehicle behind me. The whine usually goes away if i let off the gas and goes away if i keep a constant pressure(load) on the pedal. Then when i slow down to around 30 mph the trans (or rear) makes more of a loud humming noise until i step on the gas and then it goes away. Any ideas???? I'm a little nervous about rebuilding this trans and or rearend. I'm also unsure about what to expect with this torque tube stuff. Hey i'm new to buicks, what can i say except PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! late chad
Hey Chad I cant help you much on the rear and trans problem I have already pulled mine completely out enine to rearend, but you may want to try to post this over in the Clasic Buick section they seem to hang out in that area. Good Luck.
thanx Thanx gary, i'll try that. I never realized how different a buick was from my usual chebby's and pontiacs. But at least i get to learn something. late chad p.s. if anyone sees this, What do all you guys who swap to a later model trans and rear do with your old ones??? Assuming they are any good..
