Tranny problems..
just got the car a week ago and i'm already having major problems I think.. if i'm driving normally (never going above 2K) it drives fine but if i get on it in any gear the motor bogs down and i hear a metal on metal clanking and a strong vibration in the shifter? WTF?

not pinging but it does bog down.. no SES. I washed my motor today.. could water have gotten into the opti? i was really careful about that because i dont want to change that until i have to. i would almost rather it be the opti than the tranny.

Sounds like it could be the opti. My buddies LT1 did that same thing when his opti went out. it drove fine under normal driving, but if he got on it around 4-5k rpms the car would bog down and backfire. he replaced the opti and all problems went away.

i new i shouldn't have cleaned the motor.. but it really needed it! is there anything else it could be or that i should try before spending $500?
**edit**
how could it be the opti if it makes a clanking noise?

yeah it fired right up.. I think it was just because it was cold.. it worked fine until the temp. dropped last night because now it's working fine. It was scaring the **** out of me because i just got the car..
