Squealing - tap shift only?

**Godfather** · 09-20-2011

Having a problem...

Hear squealing in front of vehicle, driver side.

Happens after I let off of gas and cruise down the road. Kicker is that it only happens while I'm in manual/tap shift mode....when I pit it right back into drive while it's happening noise goes away.

Any ideas?

^^ should say it's more of a whine than a squeal...could this possibly be the alternator?

Driver's side has transmission on it.

Thankfully not.

have you noticed any difference in rpm and by that I mean when giving it gas does the rpm jump up an down or does it to that during cruising?

I'd be contacting Dave at TEP and asking if there's a channeling or something that could cause this in the trans.

This.

With the same transmission as the 3800 Supercharged engines...and 40 more ft. lbs. of rated TQ and over 60 more HP...it's a wonder why they didn't upgrade it at all.

Most tend to let go anywhere from the 80-100k mark it seems...or sooner if they are beat on.

Brought to a guy I know and trust.

Mechanic for over 30 years and runs a transmission shop...had him drive it around for a few minutes.

He was stumped to what it was...getting frustrating.
