My transmission is grinding. I jacked up the car and spinned the wheels and the grinding is coming from where the axels meet the tranny. Does this mean a rebuild is in order? Shifting gears is normal but when I coast in neutral I can hear it grind. Anyone know if it's the axels or tranny. No clicking sounds and the rubber is still good on the axels thanks.

 

anybody?

 

maybe a bad differential

 

i have a 99 si and i just went through the same problem. I took it to a tranny shop and they said my transmission was just **** inside because i race. When i rotated the tire it was a knocking in differential side and you could feel something in tranny when rotating the tire... so i hope for your sake that its not that... good luck man...

 

check your bearings, they might be inhibiting the axles from turning

 

So did you end up rebuilding the tranny and differential. If so about how much is that? And what bearings should I check. I know it's not the wheel bearings since the sound is isolated to where the axel and tranny meet. Sounds like I have to rebuild everything.
