Thread: Tranny Noise When I Turn The Tires 04 Comp G 4T65E

Hi I ran into a I think major problem while changing my brakes today. I had my car front end jacked up changing the front pads due to I thought brake noise when driving. Well I had it in the air both front wheels off and I was doing the passenger side I turned the wheel and herd a grinding noise. Well I put in in neutral no noise when u turn the wheel. Well I put it back in park I turned it again same grinding/catchy feeling. I am turn the wheels by hand by the way car not running. It sounds like a bearing in Diff cover right where the axle goes into the trans. I changed my fluid/filter a while back found a lot of metal in the filter and magnet. I did a post on it and have pics also I am betting that was some of the bearing or what ever it is making that noise. It would be great if TrannyMan or some one that knows a lot about 4t65e could help me.

I got to thinking While it is in park should it even turn? Most cars I have worked on wouldn't turn while in park but this is a auto / Manual I don't know if this is the difference or something bad has happened.

Yeah I mean it runs out great changes gears good and don't slip, Here recently started making a little whining noise or dragging almost like a wheel bearing or brake pad so I got my pads today wheel bearings for both sides will be in tomorrow. I think ill go ahead and take out the diff. see whats up in there. I post an add a while back metal in filter during pan drop I think it finally showed its ugly face LOL. QuickSilver Replied to my post he was talking about a thrush washer in the Diff. if I am correct, I think he knew what it was soon as he saw those pics. I hope at least that is all it is a THRUSH WASHER instead of all those gears being chewed up. I will find out tomorrow, Is that a bad Job removing the DIFF. while in the car??
