Grinding Noise first gear

Hey guys im new on here hopefully you can help me out! I have GMC Sanoma 2000 V6 4.4 lt is an automatic

Alright my problem just started happening about a week ago and I can hear like a grinding noise in the engine area i beleive not exactley sure but it sounds almost like either when someone messes up on the clutch in a manual or just something plainly griding. It only does it in first gear or unless i punch my gas. It doesnt do it in Neutral or reverse and only does it when im at a complete stop and press the gas pedle. I hope i explained everything correctly and hopefully someone can help me out!

Re: Grinding Noise first gear

having similar problem

I have a 96 Olds Achieva - automatic transmission. I have the same problems mentioned above.

When I accelerate too hard from a stand still I hear a grinding noise coming from somewhere under the hood.

It only happens in first gear, although I havent tried punching the gas at higher speeds.

I thought at first it could be my transmission slipping? But above it says it could be a tire problem. Im pretty clueless as to where to start looking or how to diagnose this. Please help, thanks in advance.

Re: Grinding Noise first gear

I think im gonna try something A friend told me to do.....get couple blocks to stop your vehicle and stick the vehicle in neautral...then jack up one tire at a time in the front and spin it and see if it makes the noise..if not then u can see its not rubbing on anything n go on diagnosing the problem....im going to do this tomorow
