Its been so cold here my dad hasnt really wanted to help me. he said this weekend we will do a fluid change on it if it is warm. (high sat of 52 here) so maybe we’ll try. Im still learning or i would do it my self. I did notice it today when driving that when it was cold still the sound was not present and as the car gets warmer the louder it gets. I did find a trans from a local salvage yard with 71K on it for $350, if the fluid change dosent help it. Im pretty sure it has new solenoids on it.

Where is the gauge zeroing out at at ignition off? I was driving our 2005 Impala back a few moths ago and saw it was running hot so turned full heat on till i could pull over and then noticed the cooling fans hadnt cycled. sure enough as soon as I switched the car off the gauge didnt zero like it should. Now the gauge says it runs real hot all the time (pegged out). Stepermotor failure is common in 2000-2007 gm cars. (I think the cutoff date is 07, dont quote me on that) My dads truck did the same thing when we where pulling our boat. turned heat on (in the middle of the summer) relized that the cooling fans never cycled and coninued on our way. Trust me nether times were they actually over heating.
