Automatic Transmission - Grinding

Car is a 95 3800(not sure which trany the automatic was). Intermittent grining. Sometimes when you drive the car it's perfectly fine other times it constantly grinds...even in neutral.
What's going on here guys???? Please don't tell me I need a new trans. Also has an rpm flair on the 2 to 3 shift.

Well I would try the manual section first, But would be hard to diagnosis with out hearing and feeling it

Why the manual section????

Ok a new addition to the problem. My car will accelerate when you push the pedal in neutral. What in the f*cking hell??????????????? My car is f*ckin weird.

if the car is accelerating in neutral and its not the transmission, it must be possessed...

so i'd take it to a tranny shop or exorcist - pick your poison.

Your post is all sorts of confusing. Do you have a Auto or a Manual? One section you say Auto, then you mention a clutch???????????

i think he's young and isnt sure how a transmission works.You're right....absolutely cluelss as how an automatic transmission works.

I'm thinking the clutch might be bad becuase it has an RPM flair on the 2-3 shift when driven hard, indicating that the clutch could be worn out and not engaging into third gear quick enough causing the rpms to flair up.

I believe your confused on how an automatic transmission works. They do not have "a clutch" they have clutch packs, but I think your confused on how they work.
