Celica Forums General Discussion General my car makes a funny noise

i have a 2000 gts sport shift celica and i bought it used... everything seemed perfect when i was test driving it and stuff and i brought it to a mechanic and everything seemed pretty good to him...so i bought it...after like a week i got insurance for the car and the car hasn't moved since.. but when i drove it off to school for the first time in a week.. it made this loud ticking noise when i put it in reverse.. it sounds very bad and its very noticeable.. its been about a year and it seems to be getting worst.. and it is only really noticeable every time i guess when my car is cold.. so every time i put it in reverse when its cold it makes a loud ticking noise.. it isn't as noticeable when i warm my up car tho but you can still hear it.. and if i don't warm up my car sometimes the car doesnt' respond at all like i push the gas petal and it barely moves no matter how hard i gas it.. and i like have no low end torque my friends auto matrix xr repsonds so much quicker low end.. so does anyone know if it is my transmission that is busted??? one of my friend thinks it could be my torque distributor..

IT COULD ALSO BE YOUR LIMITED SLIP DIFF.MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT GEAR OIL!OUR TRANNYS HAVE BRASS SYNCHROS THAT REQUIRE LIM.SLIP ADDITIVE OR SYNCHRO MESH FLUID.MOST PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU TO USE REDLINE MT-90 BUT I PREFER BG FULL SYN. WITH A BG ADDITIVE. I LEARNED MY LEASON THE HARD WAY.

OH WELL BEING AN AUTO IT PROBABLY IS TORQUE DIS.BUT ONCE AGAIN CHECK FLUIDS AND FILTER YOU MAY NEED A FLUSH. START WITH THE EASYEST FIRST AND WEED OUT PROBLEMS

PORTCITY420 yea i changed my tranny fuild with the filter few months ago and i use mobile 1 syn oil 5w-30 and trd oil filter. i don't kno what the pervious owner did or whatever but i guess he didn't really take good care of the car..

You put Mobil-1 5w-30 in your transmission.

Please tell me that's a typo.

i didnt htink celi's jad lim slip diffs

lol no i mean i use mobile one oil.. i use toyota tranny fiuld so yea thats a type o.. oh yea speaking of putting fluids and stuff in the wrong places... my friend was being hella stupid or something he wanted to refill his window washer fuild and he poured it in his radiator hole.. because he wasn't thinking.. it took a long time to drain it too and flush it..

y'all are high are something
