    Transmission Noise

    all they would do is sell me a re-man. I had it out, the trans worked fine but I figured it would go out at the worst time. this is in northern north Dakota.

    Transmission Noise

    mine in my 02 limited sounded like a bad alternator, I replace it with a Toyota reman. believe it or not Toyota was the cheapest route to go. wasn't a tranny shop that would even take it apart.
