I get the advance trac message, traction light and my abs light won't go out. I have an abs code reader and regular obdII reader. I get the codes: C1095 ABS hydraulic pump motor circuit failure C1286 Booster mechanical failure Does this for sure mean the problem is not a speed or abs...

I have a tranmsission for a 2002 ls sport and the part number has the 2w... number. The tranmission has 56k on it and is complete with torque converter, it was pulled 2 months ago. I will sell for $200. OR trade for ? ? I would also Like to sell my white 2000 v8. It has a 56k engine...

I can't figure out how the power steering high pressure pump line where routed orginally. I notice the metal arm that is attatched to the pump can only "sit" 2 ways so it's out of the way of the ac pump and other engine parts and both ways won't allow the line from the gear to attatch. Where...

solved!! I found the problem. When swapping the engine and trans, I let my friends help. A drive shaft I thought to myself anyone could hook it up. The drive shaft was bolted straight to the transmission with the coupler. Instead of the coupler having 3 bolts to the driveshaft and the trans...

new light I took the rubber inspection cover off and found a nut missing from the flex-plate. I felt around inside but didn't find the nut. What damage could be done from the nut if it's still rolling around inside. The car still makes the grinding noise at 40mph and it has a vibration...

end play No I never checked any end play as the transmission is brand new and engine came from a running car.. The noise happens in any gear. If I put it in 3rd and go 40 it will grind, if it shift into 4th it will grind at 40mph. Doesn't seem to matter what gear its in. I am going to...

diagnostic The post about the axle gives me an idea to go and see if the problem happens when I coast in neutral at 40mph to see if it grinds. In my opinion if it was the torque converter this noise would happen all the time. And not just howel at 35-65 and grind at 40 mph.

sound I don't think it's the torque converter. When we put it on it slid all the way in. I have an extra transmission and the torque converter for that one is in the same position as the one in the car. It's a noise like something is swinging around and then lodging into the flywheel teeth...

To much technical stuff About the torque converter, the noise sounds like something is catching then grinding maybe on the flex plate. Could not using the proper torque on the bolts for the flexplate cause this noise? I feel the shifter making a weird shake when it happings. Maybe improper...

I just put a new 2002 v8 engine in a 2000 v8 lincoln ls car. The car runs great and smooth. However at 35-40 mph the car makes a grinding noise that I can feel in the shifter stick it sounds like something is catching on something and then it stops as I go faster. The grinding noise sounds...
