When I start my car and it turns over there is a grinding or screetching sound.
I think it may be the alternator or something, but I can't figure it out.
Anyone know what this might be?
The sound is more of a grinding of metal.
once I start it a couple of times it goes away.
But when I start it after a while of sitting in the garage it makes the grinding noise.
Does anyone have any idea what it might be?
no its a grinding noise like metal or something and it only happens when I start the car and then it's fine.
When I first start it after it has been sitting for awhile it makes the noise, but once I start again right away it goes away.
what?
Unscrew what, you mean in the engine you think there is a loose screw.
I know ive dropped some sh*t in the alternator before and i could be hitting it.
But what do you mean.
I'm still having the grinding noise problem when starting.
I have taken things out and looked around but I still can't figure it out.
I'm going to change my transmission fluid, do you think that could be it? What things could occur if my fluid needs to be change. Would this grinding noise happen because of my fluid needing ot be changed.
take the starter off and look at the teeth. if they are fine look in the hole where the starter went and look at the teeth on the flywheel and get a friend to turn over the crankshaft on the opisit side on the crank pully bolt. and inspect all the teeth.
