Will a failing torque converter make a humming sound?
My car is making a very resonant sound (like an oboe). The humming goes away under accelleration but returns when you back off the accellerator and at idle.
I did find fluid down about a quart and brought it up to proper level.
Initially, I looked to intake issues but found no apparent cracks or obvious defects.
The car drives normal and shows no impaired drivability at all.
I am trying to remove my oil pan and am stuck. I've disconnected everything discussed in the Helms and Haynes manuals and can't seem to lift the engin high enough to get the pan past the bellhousing.
The rear wheels are on the ground still. Q: If I lift the back to take weight off the rear suspension, will I change the geometry between the engine/trans and the crossmember so as to give me enough room to get the pan out.
