<VV> Fw: noise in PG

[Shaun McGarvey]

I had to do some further testing to help isolate the noise. I think it's in 
the Powerglide itself. It goes away if I pop it into neutral.
Just to recap, it's a low droning noise that's only there while I'm creeping 
along at like 1 mph. It stops abruptly when the car stops moving. If I let 
it roll away from a stop, it's there the instant the car starts moving and 
stays exactly the same tone and volume until 2 or 3 mph when it fades away, 
or fades into the engine, exhaust, road noise.
If I roll in neutral, no noise.
Does anyone know how a PG works well enough to tell which part might be at 
fault? Torque converter? ???

yea, Vairily ... Shaun
