Well i posted earlier this morning THANK YOU all who got my car in running condition!! but........We got another problem. First off i want to say i havent pushed the car since i have had it well that hard. When i take off i hear a pop sound, but its normly only when i take off. It does it sometimes when i shift gears too. I changed the transmission filter, and oil. It only started making that noise after that.
 
Is it a FWD. If it is it is possible that an axle is going bad. I think I remember you from this morning. Also you said you replace the tranny filter and oil. You mean tranny fluid right? Just making sure. You also say when you shift it. Do you shift it up through the gears because you shouldn't. And if you mean that it pops when you first put it in drive or all the time. Its possible you have to much fluid in the tranny.
 
Yes tranny fluid, and no i dont shift through the gears i just put it in drive, and go. In the morning i am going to check the tranny fluid. When i was changing the filter i found a magnet looking circle in there, and what looked like 2 more of them broken into pieces. I took the broken pieces out, and left the round one in. Are those suppose to be in there, and yes the car is FWD
 
Well it may be that an axle is bad or there is to much fluid in the tranny. So you can try that and see what you get.
 
Well im hoping it is the fluid, but you where right last time im crossing my fingers on the bad axle though LOL.
 
Got it all the way up to where it says adjust when hot should i let some out? Now that i let it idle for about 30 mins, and drove it i have a little more of a description for the post. When i put it in gear sometimes the car will roll by itself like a normal car, and sometimes it just sits there until i give it gas. Gear shifted clean when i drove it i dont have a jack, and im a bigger guy so i cant crawl my big behind under the car to see whats going on with the axel, so i have to wait until my buddy comes over later this afternoon to get a look under the car.
