| Description of the problem | A couple of months ago, i began to notice a loud vibrating or shuddering sound at speeds around 35-40 mph. It seemed to happen as i stopped accelerating as if it were trying to up-shift for cruising. The sound began to get louder over the next few weeks before i could get it checked out. It now has a very difficult time shifting at those speeds and when it does shift, it's hard and makes a loud knock sound. It then began to run hot one day so after it cooled i check the coolant level and found that it had a light brown, milky looking substance which felt oily. I've recently discovered a lot of information from people with the same problem explaining that it is cause by the coolant and transmission fluid mixing and damaging each component. |
