my point is dropping down a gear and "Getting on it" is like dumping the clutch on a manual trans, after awhile the clutch wears out and you have to replace it, but for auto's you cant just go out and replace "the clutch" you either have to take it to a shop and have it rebuilt or buy another one. and the sound you hear is valve lash

I've already been told by two different transmission specialists and my mechanic that my transmission should be rebuilt or replaced. However, the transmission was messed up before I bought the car (it had around 153,000 on it and now it has around 167,600). Maybe the previous owner was mashing the gas all of the time. What sound are you talking about?
