Squeaking Noise

When I start my car, I have a weird squeaking noise, comming from the front tranny area (flywheel, TQ Converter, etc.). The noise contunies when I am in park, but once I switch gears, into drive or reverse, the squeaking stops. What is the deal with this? PLEASE HELP!

Luke,

A few more questions...

What year / model/ transmission do you have?

Does the noise occur only when cold? Hot? Vary with engine RPM?

Sorry, too rare of an opertunity to pass up.


Check your trans to engine bolts for tightness and drop the inspection plate and check the bolts on the flexplate/flywheel.

Noise in PARK or NEUTRAL might be a flexplate, trans oil pump, or intermediate clutch pack problem. Placing the transmission in any gear (forward or reverse) should eliminate the flexplate. Since the noise occurs in reverse but not forward, the pump is probably not an issue, but intermediate clutch pack could still be a problem. If you raise the engine RPM while holding the brake in reverse gear, does the noise still occur or change?

Re: Squeaking Noise

Reading this post I have this problem.

I have squeeling noise when I put in reverse and in forward until I give it some gas then it goes away. Noise at all times in reverse no noise in park. This happened after I added fluid.

what could this be?

thx

Jeff
