The car: '99 a4 maro
What I did:
Okay, so recently I fix an exhaust leak from my headers with a copper gasket. This required lots of pushing and prying around the transmission area. I also removed the tranny dipstick tube while I pulled off that passenger side lift bracket, then put it back in with a couple of washers to make up for where the bracket was.
The Symptoms:
A grinding sound when the engine is under load in reverse (sounds like on the passenger side)
I feel more vibration than normal when coasting (only sometimes).
And only in certain spots (certain gears on certain slopes) a rattling sound.
My thoughts:
I thought the starter might have shifted so that it was grinding on the flywheel, I messed with that a bit and don't think that's it anymore.
Does the tranny diptube have any kind of seal on it inside the transmission that might have gotten knocked off?
