hi forum members.

I am experiencing a vibration/ growl in higher rpms in 3rd gear.  (i believe it is 3rd as 4th is overdrive. correct?)
when i do not use the overdrive it is quite noticeable or if it downshifts out overdrive.

with overdrive on it shifts into quite a smooth travel.
 

otherwise, shifting through gears seems quite smooth

pathy also has a growl upon startup in park

 

i just bought this, rather mint 1995 pathy out of vancouver with 200,000 kms. immediately i took it in and had the stock cooler bypassed and transmission pan dropped for a servicing,  was told all was quite normal,  no indication of burnt fluid,  "normal"  particulate on magnet.  past owner had this vehicle regularly serviced.

any suggestions where to go from here?

I doubt the U-joints are making much noise in park, unless it's a separate issue. Fourth is overdrive, yes. If the noise is gear-dependent I'd assume it's internal to the tranny, though I don't know its workings well enough to guess at what would only make noise in third and park.

Nice! I had a weird noise from underneath mine turn out to be a loose hanger as well. I was sure it was trans related because it seemed to get worse when I was getting on it, sometimes on shifts... nope, just the exhaust flexing as the engine rocked or vibrations or something. Nice cheap fix.
