The bump is probably the pressure control solenoid in the tranny. They're not hard to change, just a PITA to get there.

 

imma just let aamco do that if need be, im hoping that this fluid change will fix the problem tho

 

I have a 2004 Dale Jr. edition MC and my tranny is making a whinning noise only in park and reverse real annoying and also leaking fluid extremely bad any suggestions on what to do? Also the S/C is starting to act real crazy like the gauge is going up and down and wont allow me to drive it while its doing that.

 

Welcome to the forum, to be honest you should start your own thread on this so more members can see your request for assistance and offer suggestions. This is like on the back page of another guys thread and members may no longer chime in on this topic and therefore not see your question. Just wanted to let you know so you could get more input from members. Cool to have another Dale Jr. car on here.

Sounds as if the whining is from being low on fluid, which if you don't get the leaks stopped will eventually cost you to lose the tranny. You need to try and determie why the leaks are occuring. Are they from loose line fittings, that would be somewhat inexpensive of a fix if they were the culprit. Or is an axle popped out and the O-ring is lettting oil seep past. Might be relatively simple, so if you have a friend with some ramps or a few jack stands and you can get your self a strong flashlight, start trying to see why it is leaking.

When whining noise from automatic transmission is produced this is an indication of a serious transmission problems occurring inside. Most transmission noise problems are due to a VERY low A/T fluid inside the transmission. However, when the automatic transmission fluid is within the normal level, then expect a very serious problem that cause growling noise such as damage or worn out transmission components.

 

oooo then that is some more bad news for me, i hear that too from time to time but i heard our cars jus make a natural whining noise, something like a supercharger whine.... awww man

 

also what kind of tranny fluid does the SS 01 take without the supercharger dexron 4? and how many quarts?

 

Dex III is what current standards were when the vehicle was manufactured, but some prefer to use Dex IV because they claim it helps to disapate heat better. You'll need approx. 7.5 quarts to refill after a pan drop/filter change.

 

Sounds like theres a trans rebuild in your future real soon!
Generally around 80,000 plus miles trans issues start to show up with these transmissions.

 

I would buy and use Dexron VI, it is the very best for our transmissions and handling heat. It can be had for about the same cost as Dexron IV.

The fluid specification for Dexron-VI was introduced in 2005,and was first used as the GM factory-fill automatic transmission fluid for model year 2006.

and GM now supports "ONLY" Dexron-VI fluids for use in their automatic transmissions.

These fluids are not regulated by GM.[4] Dexron VI is of a slightly lower viscosity when new compared to the prior Dexron fluids. The intent of the lighter viscosity is to gain an incremental improvement in fuel economy by lessening parasitic drag in the transmission. Since Dexron VI is not allowed to thin out (lower its viscosity) as much as Dexron IV

Well said Greg!
