What could cause the transmission on a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan to make a shuddering sound while the engine is idling but it stops when accelerating?

This vehicle is notorious for a "whining" noise. The slower you drive, the louder it is. At first I thought our power-steering pump was going, or the transmission was whining. Two mechanics told me it's normal. Just a quirk with Dodge/Chrysler products. I had that whining noise and it was the alternator making the noise through the radio. even when the radio is off. Just a thought.


How can you check if a loud whining noise from the dash is the speedometer cable in a 95 Saturn SL?

You could disconnect the cable down at the transmission, drive it around, and see if the noise has quit. Some cars don't have a cable-the speedo is electronic, so then you might have a vacuum leak somewhere under the dash.

Check the fluid level in the trans, the whining is probably the input shaft gear mangling itself.
