Front end drivetrain noise help
2008 SS LNF
not so happy right now, my cars trans only has 34k on it since it was replaced and im getting a roaring noise from the front of the car, the wheel bearings are fine but the trans is making noise as well as the intermediate shaft bearing. note im a ford mechanic and im sure its not the wheels or tires. so ive been also getting this burning oil smell every time I drive a far distance for me that like 30+ miles, normal trips are only 17 miles. so I decided to check the manual trans fluid it came out fast and a dark red smells burnt.
my question to you LNF owners who have replaced this fluid so called 88862472 SAE 75w-85 was it red and was it thin and runny?
I think the trans I got put in had the wrong fluid in it and that's whats caused my noise since I got the trans put in, now its so load I feel like im on a jet liner.
btw please sarah I think was you name chime in and pm me

Mine is doing the same thing sounds like a old Diesel engine running when it's in neutral. And I have to turn the radio up or I'm scared to drive it lol... I ordered a salvage trans to fix the problem waiting for it to get here now.
