hi i got a question....

round 90-95+ MPH / 4 or 4.5k RPM (i forgot weather its 4k or 4.5k this is in overdrive ovcourse) my car starts to raddle an it only increases w/ speed... now im not a tech but i do know how cars work in nutral the car redlines (6.9K RPM) just fine and dont rattle soo i figure its the transmission / tires (good ol suqellin baldies) or possably the transmission mounts? and ideas.... ty

also its a 93 240se se rocking it w/ 120k miles too much transmission fluid, ( it moves forward bout walkin speed from a stand still if i take my foot of the brakes) is the transmission fluid causing this? ( the rooling and/or rattling)

thank you again

Is it a minor chatter or a loud rattle that would disturb other drivers? Also are you absolutely sure it doesnt do it in nuetral?

outta transmission / tires i think im leaning more tires, tho...

i have already blown the transmission once b4 it was rebuilt...

but today i noticed some thing. it seems to happen signifantly MORE when i ease my foot off the accelorator(at 95+ MPH)... the 1st thought i had was the toque converter.. an than it does have too much fluid in it (transmission fluid)

now i am gunna flush the transmission ASAP...

"SpeedRacer1 Is it a minor chatter or a loud rattle that would disturb other drivers?"

its not soo much the sound that bothers me on a scale of 1- 10 10 = loud id say...5ish..

Also are you absolutely sure it doesnt do it in nuetral? "

No dought... the engine slightly vibrates but sill nouthing like what im talking bout it tomarrow / or next ride out ill check if it does it at all in 3rd and where and when it starts @ RPM and MPH
