    Tranny Issues?

    Hey everyone.. first off i would like to let you know whats going on. basicly it seems like every time i take off my car makes like a rubbing noise. At first it feels like its slipping then CLUNK it grabs. It usually is worse when im taking a left turn and just before i straighten the wheel out it makes a very hard rubbing noise. My car also completely stalled out at an intersection as soon as i heard the rubbing noise also.. Im not sure what it could be but my car is in the shop now while im at school.. Hopefully its just a cv axle but it also could be the tranny.. just wondering if you guys have had any problems. my car is an automatic and the tranny isnt very old.. was replaced about a year ago and has about 20-30,000 miles on it. Also I did jack up my car in the front end and drove it and noticed that the cv axle wobbles as its spinning.. idk if that is suppost to do that Im new when it comes to the whole drivetrain in the front end.

    Any advice or suggestions could help..


    Thanks everyone

    It sounds like your transmission is slipping. Do a full transmission flush and see if it still slips. If it does, you may need a new transmission.
