Hi all. I'm a long time listener, first time caller. I'm on my first long distance trip in my Elaganza that I've owned for a little over 3 years.
I've made it 970 miles from home when a howl began emanating from the engine compartment. The noise persisted even after I pulled over and shifted into Park. The best that I can tell, the noise is coming from the torque converter.
As soon as the noise began, I noticed a drop in temperature on my newly installed transmission temperature gauge. I considered this to be a sign of fluid loss so I immediately checked the transmission fluid level. The level is good so I assume that this means the fluid stopped circulating.
I limped into the nearby beautiful Timberline RV park in Waukee, Iowa on the outskirts of Des Moines and here I sit waiting for Monday to roll around so that I can start looking for a repair facility that will tackle this job, and hopefully in a timely manner too.
Normally I take care of all of my service and repairs, but a transmission repair or replacement is beyond my scope this far from the resources available to me at home.
I'm a member of GMCMI and am privy to the Black List though I assume (maybe incorrectly) that my issue is beyond the scope of most black listers too.
Any assistance, guidance, or suggestions is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
