what are symptoms of a bad transmission

Hey guys I was kind of curious two what symptoms you may experience if there is something wrong with the transmission. I notice that when i step on the gas pedal especially in 1, 2, 3 gear i hear loud vibration coming from the rear of the car, sounds like grinding of some sort, any ideas of what it can be? when i shift i dont get any noise

Wait until you get a loud "thud" from your rear-end.. thats your diff shatering and shooting out the housing.. not a fun feeling.. you might want to get that looked at.

In the middle of the back of your car is the pumpkin that the axles go into. Drain the fluid from it, and see if there are chunks of metal in the fluid. If you want to upgrade the Kaaz is like 700-800 bucks. I'm not sure how much a stock one is though.

I don't have a picture, but if you align yourself with your liscence plate, get your head to the ground, and look to the front of the car, the differential will be right in front of you. Just look at where the axles lead to.
