Thread: 99 Grand Prix 3.8 non supercharge squealing noise under hood

I know when my power steering pump took a dump the pulley snapped and was still spinning inside causing a squeal it was a loud squeal too, I couldn't figure out what it was since I didn't have power steering anyways until the belt and pulley came off together on i95 ... Good times

Took belt off and noise continues. Is a dry noise like something is not lubricated, not metal to metal noise. My mechanic friend believes that noise is coming between engine and transmission; does any one know if it this vehicle has oil pump drive?

Is there another name for tran oil pump?

Correction, another name for trans pump?
