Does it change with the a/c?

 

What does the A/C have to do with tranny noise? I'm not talking about R154 freon lol!
To answer your question-no.

 

The input shaft of my r-154 rattles at idle under load (a/c). v160's do the same thing. It sounds like there are rocks in the transmission.

And thanks for the additude

 

Did you inspect the mount? Is it jerky or performing differently or just the noise?

 

I looked at the mount and it looks fine to me. It's mainly just the noise.

 

Didn't mean any disrespect buddy.
I know what you mean about the rattle sound.
It sounds like an 18 wheeler if you have the idle below 900 rpm.
But that is still not the noise that I am having. I think I'm going to just put it up in the air and try to duplicate the noise while taking a look from underneath.

 

it's all good...
I did the w58 mount with only 2 bolts into the trans instead of 4
Do you have spacers under the aluminum mount? I had to bang my tunnel out and not use spacers. Check around the tunnel for the trans hitting.
That's about all I can think of now, other than trying to replicate the issue in the air.

 

Yes I have it spaced about 3/4 inch. I did use washers instead of a block due to lack of resources at the time. It very well could be coming from there. Maybe a noise from the washers compressing when the tranny moves. I dunno, Im really just throwing it out there. I did bang out the tunnel so there shouldn't be any contact. I've had the tranny on the car for almost a year and the noise didn't really start until like 4 month after the install. I've just tried to live with it untill now.

 

Sprung hub clutch? My clutch has a broken spring in the hub and it sounds like a diesel with the clutch out at idle. Clutch in and it goes away... Annoying but not the end of the world.

 

Yes it's sprung, but it's not a rattle noise that I'm having. I mean I do have the famous R154 gear rattle noise but it's not the one I am complaining of.
