    gimme a break.

    if you don't have a micrometer or caliper to measure pads and rotors, why don't you try to swap the PS pads, and rotor to DS and see if it turns? if the rotor or pads were made wrong get them replaced. you could have a bent caliper mounting bracket.

    Transmission Probs

    The noise is either: 1. The Input bearing 2. countershaft bearings 3. chunk or chipped tooth on either input or counter gear the reason it goes away in 4th, is that the power transmits through the mainshaft, relieving the load on the input/counter. make sense?

    Automatic transmission oil cooler
