I've noticed this problem for maybe 4 months but it's gotten worse. It started out only when I was in reverse, the transmission I'm guessing would make this almost stretching sound when I had the brakes on. Now it's spread to first gear too! I can even hear it when I'm in drive sometimes when I'm stopped. It really sucks.

please try to explain better and be specific

Agreed. "A stretching sound" isn't helpful.

The oldschool cartoon stretching sound is the closest I could come up with. The next closest would be a knife scraping on metal.

I'll pass this to someone else, I'm lost by the lack of description

Well it puzzles me too. (in all gears) When I'm stopped I hear this weird noise. It sounds kind of like metal on metal. Like a rubbing sound, I thought maybe it's the torque converter, but I really don't know. It sounds like it is coming from the front.

Sounds like the converter.I had a 77 chevy van that was all hot-rodded out.It started making the same noise,wouldn't move anymore or do anything.We narrowed it down and replaced the converter and it did the trick.

I have a similar problem. my mechanic said it's the tranny pump going out. as time has gone on in the 6 months that I've had my car, I've noticed the sound getting progressively worse. wheather it's actually the pump it not - my tranny needs rebuilding. it doesn't quite shift properly and it shutters in reverse.
he also said it may be something else but I don't recall at this time what it was.
something starting with a c. lol...(coulda been converter as mentioned above)
