tranny bangs

Discussion in 'Drivetrain' started by draztik_celica, Oct 5, 2007.

  1. since i got my 88 celica, whenever i shift from drive to reverse, i always hear a loud bang from the transmission. what could be the cause of this problem? i've searched the internet, they usually say that it's the tranny mount.

    NEED HELP!!!

    thanks

    How do your engine/tranny mounts look?? Are they old and worn? If they are...might be time to change them, they are 20 years old! :D

    turn the car off and then put it in reverse!

    They're not hard to replace either...there's a writeup somewhere here do a search at the top of this page for it...

    if it's not the mount which i doubt. more likely it's the fluid needing a change or bad TORQUE mounts.

    If you shift quickly into reverse, it will bang. My friend Doug did it super fast in my GT-S, sounded like a bomb going off. You just gotta ease it into reverse. Both of my Celicas have had that problem.

    they are talking about automatics not 5 speeds.

    come to a complete stop whilst shifting, then see if it still bangs.
    my old ford used to bang all the time when switching from drive to reverse (at speed)
