I have a 1997 Bonneville SSE. I replaced the transmission a year ago
with a cheaper used one.

It has started to make a loud popping sound when you give it gas. It
feels and sounds like splines slipping. Every once in a while it will
catch and shift normal. When it catches you can gun it and it will shift
through all the gears smoothly. Once it slips, it does the popping in
any gear, forward or reverse.

Can this be a wheel bearing? CV joint? torque converter? How the heck
do I troubleshoot this and narrow it down without having the tear the
transmission out all over again?

Try a can of transmission conditioner. You know you should change the

oil and filter once a year.
