A while back I noticed an oscillating noise while driving at highway speeds on my 96 Geo Metro A/T. The noise gradually got louder several months down the road - oscillating noise was noticeable even on idle. One day while making a right turn to a street which leads up to a hill, there was a metallic clunk, then transmission failure - car wouldn't move in any gear. I just had the tranny swapped with a used one -the old one wasn't rebuilt so I never go to know what problem was with it. Two years later 60k km, I can again hear a slight oscillating noise on the freeway. I'm afraid it might be the same problem. Anyone have any idea what could have been defective with the first tranny which btw lasted 287k km before it failed?
