Could this be the problem? ------>
I have a problem with a squealing noise at mild acceleration, and at stoplights....
I replaced the belt, and realized that the noise is coming from underneath the car, towards the rear of the engine, mid tranny.... cant tell exactly.
Could the flywheel, or the torque converter have anything to do with it?
Anyone got a clue?
(the formula)

It has given me a little trouble since I got it... Pain in the butt so far, but hopefully I will work out the kinks pretty soon... Then I'll bring it out to Compass...
I actually bought it from a guy in Angleton.. (about 30min S of houston...)
Anyone know whats up with it?

I hope you do not have the same problem I did on my wife's station wagon. Same symptoms, occasional squeling at stop lights and at certain throttle positions. I pulled my oil pan only to find she had spun a rod bearing. The two halves were overlapping each other, so there was no knock. After driving it for awhile like that the oil started become very metallic. Nice and shiny. I hope that is not your problem.

When you step on the clutch does it go away?
If it does then we have the same problem. I have not look into it yet but this happened when I had a mechanic replaced the clutch. Now I don't let any other person touch my car. I just come here and get some Ideas. Let me know if you find the cause.
Thanks
