Esteemed Litstees,
        I first heard this sound 2 weeks ago.

        SCREEERRRrrrrrrr. Like a heavy desk with legs being dragged a few inches
across a hard bare floor It only lasts for 1 - 2 seconds, maybe once every 3
days, only once happened twice in one day.
Doesn't matter if it's cold or hot (engine OR weather), uphill or flat,
cornering or straight.

        I can feel a vibration in the shift handle but it vibrates the whole van.
The sound is like a belt slipping but lower pitched and more mechanical. It
is definitely coming from the rear.

      Anyone ever heard this before? All comments welcome. BTW after I first
heard this sound I drained my tranny (with a rear tilt to get that last 1.5
pints our) and replaced with Redline MT-90.
Shifts smooth as silk but still get the noise from hell!

Regards,
John Meeks
