Title: Grand Cherokee V8 4.6 1999 Funny Noise
Post by: akabigm on June 26, 2009, 11:25:12 AM

Got a grinding type noise when braking, :icon_confused: but seems to not be  from the brakes, they have been checked, replaced and are OK, noise seems to be in middle of car ie underneath gearbox, doesn't cause a problem at the moment but garage and I are reluctant to dismantle lots of bits, anyone any ideas of source ? Appreciate  :icon_smile:

If its a sort of ratcheting noise as you come to a stop, it's the solenoids in the transmission resetting for the next gearshift.
