Turbos are harder on drivelines, and if your sig is correct, you may have pushed your transmission a bit too far.

I would ask Shep, he may be unfamiliar with your trans, because (I think) its a dodge transmission. he could point you in the right direction however
Alright thanks! Yeah i noticed also that I was really, really low on oil, it wasnt even to the "low" line on the dipstick it was so low, so i added a quart, took her for a drive, and it almost sounds like it has a very very faint whine in 1st as well.

I took it home and sat in the garage for a sec before shutting her off, and gave it a couple 2k revs, and it has a whine in neutral as well.

Do you think it could be fixed simply by adding tranny fluid or oil change (just cuz)?
