Hi !
I have a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier 2,2l automatic transmission with 160,000 km...Motor starts and runs good .Go for a ride for 15 about minutes then it stalls.
When this appens i parked it along the road.The motor starts good and runs good on park or neutral but as soon i put the tranny in drive,reverse,L1,or L2 position the tranny have a hard knocking sound on the wheel shaft and the motor stalls ,if i let it stay for about 30 minutes i can start and go continue driving but the problem comes back
