I have a transmission problem the housing bolts were loose the shaking and vibration would leave but while driving they would come back loose causing the shaking vibrations again what can be done to solve this problem? can i have a solution to my problem i don't work on car often but i can change a part. Also there is a noise that accompany this problem it also leave and return with the shaking and vibrations.

 

Something else is causing this problem. I'd check for loose torque converter bolts, broken or cracked flexplate (flywheel), U-joints or a broken transmission mount. That's assuming you have a automatic.

 

I second the tourque convertor bolts or cracked flexplate. My wife has a 94 explorer that does the noise and shaking thing. Its been parked since christmas cause I dont feel like repairing it yet. Her truck has a broken flexplate in it from her throwing it into reverse without completely stopping (I make sure she doesnt do that on MY blazer). I would take a look at that possibility. When you rev that engine it makes a very loud whirring/screeching noise and the vibrations are bad at idle and unbeleiveable at more than 1000rpms. Im not looking forward to this job as I have to move the exhaust pipes to get that tranny out and the tranny is a massive heavy bugger.

 

ohsofly,
Nice to hear from you again. Yes this is definately something broke and it ain't gonna fix itself. Loose TC bolts would be a blessing. If they are you need to remove a few of them as if they have been running that way a while it'll make the holes oblong. I think there are a second set ofholes that line up (at least in my old 82 Chevy 1/2 ton there were. Of course if the flexplate's cracked it's just a matter of time before it may shatter. Not pretty!

 

Thanks for your response your insight has been most helpful, I have been under there tighting bolts,checking the mounts and I plan to be at it early I will let you know if everything went well. Thanks again!!!
