I just bought a 76 maverick about 2 weeks ago, (new parts everywhere) and now when i hit the gas.... just a little more than i should i get a grun-rub noise but no quick movement:confused: ...its got a 4.1 strait 6 i've got to put it to the floor to get it up the hills where i live in West Virginia...i'm thinking trans, but hopeing not....i've already put all my money into getting it this far...Any advice would be great
Dont know anything about automatics other than their heavy and I hate them. I'd buy a cheap tach and hook it up. If the rpms speed up then something is probably slipping.
Does your car have a fan shroud? If you have a broken motor-mount, your fan could be scraping the shroud when you first get on it...
hey Brandon do u have a v6 because under your avatar it said u have a 4.1 v6 and in your first post you said you had a straight 4.1 6 :16suspect i just thought you should know
He has a 250 CI straight 6, there are very few V6's that will fit these cars because of their width. You should not be haveing to floor the car to get up a hill. I'm running the 4.1 (250) straight 6, my car will climb most hills with the gas less then a quarter of the way down. In GA there are some mighty big hills depending on where you go. Sounds like you may have some transmission problems.
My original transmission made kind of a "grunt" sound when it messed up if you floored it. As far as rubbing, I would get under the car and start looking around, see if the exaust is loose and rubs on the driveshaft or something. The motor mount is a very good guess also.

check the tranny mount too , along with the motor mounts an the exhaust, we had a ole dodge every time you got on the gas , the tailshaft of the tranny would hit the floor board
