Tranmission noise

[samus21]

When I switch from park to any gear my transmission makes a creaking/ groaning noise. what would be the source of this noise?

Could be something internal, if your hearing noises.

How easy is it to repair a tranmission? or should I first flush it. Ive never flushed it since ive had the car. the last owner didn't take good care of it.

The Fluid looks good, then it may be internally. The solenoid next to the transmission on our A604 can cause problems with other internals. A "transmission pressure test" should get you a quick, easy problem solver to find out what the problem is! You can always drop the pan and see if you have an shavings/What metal you have floating around! What you can do is run it until, it burns up. Meanwhile you can buy another one or rebuild a used one at the fraction of the cost. Ours transmissions are known as "Throw-a-ways", because they are so bad. You can swap them out for a 42LE and never have a transmission problem again....just my $.02 on what I see here/there! Good Luck

thanks that's very helpful. i've been having that annoying noise since i got the car. I want to fix it before I turbo the car because who know what that might lead to. Just trying to prevent any more problems if I can.
