After installing an 3000 stall Art Carr TC, my car ran very well and quit. However, after taking it easy on the TC for several days, I proceeded to see how the car would launch at the dragstrip. I power braked the engine up to 2100 rpm and took off. I got plenty of rubber, but the rear end went into wheel hop.

Ever since that wheel hop incident, there is a grinding noise coming from under the front part of the console. At times it sounds like a slinky (if you know what a slinky is).

I have been under the car several times, and can not located the source of the noise. I am so fustrated with my car, I just want to shoot it!!!!!

Does anybody have an idea what it could be?

I'm ready to re-install the stock TC to see if there is a problem inside the Art Carr TC.

Sounds like your parking brake cable came loose from its brackets and is laying up against the driveshaft...

Well, you might be right.

I only hear this noise when the body is moving on the suspension. On a very smooth road, I do not hear any noise. Also, the e-brake is a little looser because I need to pull on it more to lock the rear discs.

Alright!!!!!!!! This may be it. Thanks.
