BAD NIGHT, BAD NOISE
Friday, March 30, 2007 8:35 AM
Ok I was racing a mustang gt in my sunfire and instead of hitting 4gr I hit 2 and this was at 6 grand in 3rd so probably around 60 mph. Now I drove home about 20 miles and all was fine. Now today I start my car up and I hear the worst sound. It sounds like a bad bearing in the engine, or low oil. I checked both tranny and engine oil and both are ok. I need help real soon to please.

That is a 2.2L transmission, it will not fit.

You might want to find out what the problem is before you actually go replacing parts like the transmission. It could be a bad engine bearing and now you've stuck money into buying a tranny to fix something that isn't broke...

I asked my dad to look at it and he said that it was coming from the timing cover area. So he said that it is most likly a really worn timing chain. Is there anything over that way that would cause a similar noise like an oil pump. It is not a engine bearing as it still has some power. it does sound exactly like a loose chain as well if I were able to describe it. Is this a resonable answer or do the 2.4 chains never wear out. Also are there any performance thing I can do while down there.
