Hello -

Also one other thing. It looks like you may have some recalls on your vehicle. The dealer may fix these for free. Please contact the dealer service department, give them the VIN number of your car and have them check on these to see if they apply to you.

Hello -

When you had the trans overhauled - were they aware of the TSB and did they repair what it says?

Hello -

I am sorry for the inconvenience.....I have had something urgent come up and will not be able to advise at this time. No worries though...I just sent your post to two other outstanding moderators that will be in contact with you in no time.

So please stand by and again....... Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello, I, and another moderator, are going to try to fill impalaSS's shoes while he's out of town. I've read your post, and bear with me while I ask a couple questions.
Do you have any aftermarket equipment on the car ie; exhaust or intake modifications? Has the car always made this noise, or is it something that all of a sudden developed? Please advise, and we'll try to figure something out.

Is it a ringing like something is making contact or is it more like a harmonic
