2003 Bonneville SE Making a noise posted video

Post by nessa »

When I have the car in park and it gets to 4 rpm it makes a noise. I just want to know if you guys might have an idea of why it would be doing this. I'm posting a video so you can hear it. Thanks in advance for any insight. http://youtu.be/5O2BEzyCCX8

That's the park/neutral rev limiter.

Ok also when we are driving and start to slow down it will tremble, but once we come to a complete stop it won't tremble anymore? What could that be? Also thank you for replying J Wikoff!

Trembling how? Like shaking? By the way, please don't rev the snot out of it in park like that, rapping the motor like that unloaded is not good for the health.

Thanks for your reply SuperHbody :D Its a semi-strong vibration I feel, and once I come to a complete stop, it doesn't do it anymore.

I ask because I am poor right now :( and wanted to get an idea what I was up against. When I do have some money to spare I will have the alignment checked and hope that that's all it was. Thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it :)

Doesn't the vibration change depending on how hard you push the brake pedal?
