What can I do about the rattle in my transmission?
A change to a slightly heavier grade of transmission fluid (UUC recommends a specific mix of transmission fluids, 1 bottle Redline 75W-140NS and 1 bottle Redline D4 ATF) will eliminate it entirely in some cars, or at least reduce the remaining rattle a subjective 90%.
When does the clutch let out does the gearbox Rattle?
Note that this gear rattle only occurs at idle, in neutral, with the clutch let out. It is not heard at any other time. Above idle (even just a couple hundred rpm) and the increased frequency of power pulses outpaces the speed at which the components couple/de-couple, therefore no rattle whatsoever. So how to have the best of both worlds?
Why does my gearbox make a rollover noise?
Now realize that any drivetrain component (transmission or differential) has a certain amount of looseness or slack in it – it must, or being too tight would create a lot more friction. So when the power pulse engages the transmission, it is causing the rotational power going through the unit to take up that slack.
Why does new transmission fluid sound different than old transmission fluid?
The reason for this is that the new fluid will flow differently than the old fluid. Old automatic transmission fluid is thicker and full of contaminants. This will actually help seal an older, worn-out transmission.

What does it mean when your transmission slams into gear?
When your transmission slams into gear it can be a sign of abnormal pressures, worn components or even a low fluid level. Start by checking your transmission fluid level and condition on the dipstick. If you find a low fluid level, ad BlueDevil Transmission Sealer and top off the fluid to get things back to normal.
When to use bluedevil transmission sealer for transmission failure?
Usually, these types of failures only occur if you’ve got a low fluid level or extremely old transmission fluid. If you’ve got a low fluid level in your transmission, use BlueDevil Transmission Sealer to stop the leak and avoid many of these transmission problems.
