Guest jclay Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hello, My 02 OBW is making a distressing crunching/ grinding noise from the transmission which I notice when trying to reverse up a grade (like my driveway) Car runs fine in when going foreword, and I haven't noticed this noise when reversing on level ground... Thoughts? As always, all input is greatly appreciatted! Car is under warrenty for the next 2000 miles, so I'm looking for a little insight before I take it to the shop. THanks!

Guest jclay Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Relief! Took the car to a subie specific shop where the owner, who worked at a subie dealership as a tech for 30 years) took it for a quick drive and determined that it was the exhaust that was loose and banging against the underside of the car when reversing quickly....phew!!! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
