So I was sitting in the line for a car wash, in park. And all of a sudden we hear a loud bang from under the center console. Car drove fine, didn't seem to have effected anything, but on the way home we didnt go any faster than 50. managed to scare the hell out of me. Car just got a new camshaft and a vig 3200 stall. Any ideas what it might have been?

 

Jack it up and look for anything that dont look right or is missing

 

If you were moving and nailed it I would say that you have a trans mount issue. Due to the fact that you had it in park I wonder if the parking pawl in side the trans was not fully engaged for some reason. Does your shifter feel ok? Is there any slop when you use it? Might be something to address.

 

shifters feeling fine and i dont notice any difference from when i was driving around previously during the day. like i said i hadnt really got on the throttle since it happened since this is just city driving.

 

I think everyone is missing the point. You took your car through a car wash?!?

I went through a carwash before with someone elses car and i heard the same thing from underneath, it scared the **** out of us.

 

haha, yeah, guilty as charged. i would have blamed the wash too but i was outside of it on pavement waiting to go in. so i doubt it was the car wash's fault =P

 

Well hell, I dont know then.

 

Did you feel it as well as hear it?

Could be related to the torque arm, not really sure though. I recommend a very thorough visual inspection underneath the car.

You win the what the hell is that guy talking about award today!!!

The old Chinese guy did say not to feed them to late and to keep them away from water! Damn John you really know your cars.

Seriously Gilbert's advise is right on the money. Have it looked over. Vince
