When my car shifts from 1st to 2nd and occasionally from 2nd to 3rd there is a buzz noise right before the shift. Has anyone had this happen or know what it is? I'm terrified my tranny may die. Thanks.

When I bought my car it did that. I changed the fluid and put in shutter fix and it went away.

are there any other symptoms such as delayed shifts, harsh shifts, etc?

there were no harsh shifts or anything like that, it was shifting great.

I took it into a transmission shop that and they said that the problem was a plate around one of the bearings was damaged and the buzz was the car finding the gear. The estimate was $1000 - $1500 CAD. Talking with friends, we realized that was about the cost of a rebuilt tranny so I took it to a few other mechanics, one being my family'* that we always go to. They all said it was not the tranny - it was an electrical noise and it'* nothing to worry about.

So apperantly, the tranny guy was trying to screw me, and the car'* fine.
