idle levels off) I hear a horrible scraping noise... its not necesarily metalic its more of a deep almost rattle noise. It only lasts about a second and clearly "fades" away within another second. I started hearing it the day the temp was in the teens (in my parking lot) and ever since - I thought it was the weather but Its scaring me a bit more now.

Any ideas?

thanks

Sounds like a good guess.. Bendix gear not springing back fast enough ?

in it again - I almost can't wait to get rid of it... I love it to death but it has been giving me way too many problems.... Ive been to the dealer a total of 20+ times since I got it and its about 3.5 years old... if its not one thing with it its another.

Long story short I don't want to put any more $$ into it - waiting for my next car.

Yup - I had thought started but wanted a 2nd opinion. Chris, any way to confirm visually?
