Grinding noise coming out of the transmission

Hi there,

The sound you hear, is it a whining, popping, grinding, scraping or rattling sound?
If you drive a manual transmission vehicle and notice a grinding noise, it can indicate the clutch gear is no longer disengaging correctly.

first thing i would be doing is if u can lift the frot of the car and with someone in the car e brake on and put it in drive and one person under it to hear where the noise is coming from as it could be a shaft or like colin h says it could be the trany ison its way out

The grinding noise means that the gear in the motor slides over the retracting shaft, you will probably need to get a new one.

It is the release bearing, you should get it replaced quickly otherwise it might damage the plate.

that is traction control. most vehicles with traction control use a combination of brakes/throtle control and transmission upshifting to control traction. in other words, your car computer senses wheel spin and then overides you to make the car regain traction. most cars that feature traction control also have a button to turn traction control on and off manually.

I doubt you going to get a code from the transmission. Im surprised that shop you have it taken to cant tell you what is the problems. If you have high miles as 100k chances are the tranny is worned and need service or replacing. Transmission rearly grind or make a grinding noise, the brakes will make the grinding noise due to the worned pad as metal rubbing on metal, have all breaks check. If the van is 5speed, yes I can see the tranny will make a grinding noise VS automatic transmission. I would take it to another shop and get another opinion or take it to the dealer which they usually charge 70-75 buck to have it diagnose. If tranny need replacing check ebay to junk yard, is lot cheaper and as good than having it rebuilt.

low pressure in the tranny, did you check the oil level in park? if so you might have to check it in gear with someone holding it on the brakes, then re-check... hopefully it isn;t the pressure solenoid.... $$$$$$.... they can be expensive, cheers!

Grinding going into third gear only may indicate a worn syncronizer ring. There are no adjustments on the shift cables, so I doubt highly that changing the cables will help you, since you are talking about 3rd gear only. Please note: This issue may be still under warranty, if your vehicle has less than 60,000 miles and is not 5 years old. Replacement of 6-speed internal parts is best left to a pro.
