I NOTICED ON SAT 09/08/2007 WHEN I DROVE MY CAR TO THE STORE THERE WAS A WINDING, OR HUMMING SOUND COMMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION, I FIGURED IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS COLD.I SAY THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I CANT HEAR THE NOISE WHEN ITS IN PARK. IT KINDA SOUNDS LIKE A BLOWER ON A CAR. A WHISTLING NOISE. I FIGURED IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING LOW THEREFORE I MADE SURE THAT IT WAS TOPPED OFF. FLUID AND EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL, BUT STILL I HEAR THE WINDING NOISE WHEN I DRIVE. SHIFTS ALOT BETTER THAN IT DID THIS MORNING BUT STILL HEARING THE NOISE. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey Intense: Check all of your vacuum hoses, if one of them is cracked or loose them that could be the whistle. Could also be your alternator going south. I have the same car, let me know if any of this leads you anywhere.

 

WELL WELL WELL THE PROBLEM IS MY TORQUE CONVERTER. TRANSMISSION HOUSE SAID THAT IT WOULD BE AROUND $400.

 

Hi there: Good to hear that you found your problem. Do you have the 368 c.i. engine in your ride?? If you need any help with issues that may arise, I have the dealer service manuals for electrical and mechanical as I have had to do a lot of search and destroy on gemlins since I purchased my Cad. Take care. diamondguy2@shaw.ca

 

well i did find the problem but then again i didnt. i went 2 a guy yesterday n he said that it was my transmission pump. i asked him about the TCC sensor and he said that it wasnt it. tomorrow is when the transmission will be dropped and we will def find the problem. yes i do have the 368ci motor also. what i really need is to have physical contact with someone in the DFW area that works on older cadillacs. i have lucked up and took my 80 fleetwood to a dealer and a guy worked on it then but he doesnt work there anymore and dealers dont work on older cadillacs. so im pretty much assed out looking for someone that is a cadillac master. if anyone knows of anybody in the Dallas Ft. Worth area please let me know. thanks for all the input...
