'97 ford Taurus question??
'97 taurus 3.0L auto tranny
works fine but has a weird sound that's coming from the trans. it only makes this sound when slowing down, it makes the same sound in neutral or drive. sounds like a power steering pump that's dried up. (power steering works fine on this car). the sound isn't there while accelerating or at rest.
Any Ideas?? thanks for any help

Sounds like a pump problem but I cant be 100% on that.
Could also be the forward clutch drum starting to go. I had a 96 that started doing something similar, 2 shops told me a rebuild was in order so I just traded it in.

Dont trust any tranny shop utill you have serviced the tranny with new fluid and filter and a can of Kand W or simular additive.Alot of time this will fix the problem and avoid the very costly 1500 bucks or more tranny overhaul. I had a so called reputable shop say I had to have a new tranny once when the only problem was the downshift cable had a 2 dollar plastic clip broken.......
