Hi everyone, After working on it for a year now, its still not a roadworthy car, I understand now why these cars have such a bad rep for being unreliable and just a plain pain. Now after replacing the windshield, the door handle, misc. plastic pieces all throughout the car, new driver side axle, air filter, new steering dampeners, new front ball joints, a control arm in the rear, windshield pump and reservoir, interior door switches, new battery, windshield wipers, and I just had the transmission fully rebuilt,
not even after 5 mins of driving away from the transmission shop a very annoying high pitched squeal started to occur, the sound gets louder with more throttle input and is faint on decel. I have never heard a sound like it, The car did not make this sound before the transmission rebuild, which leads me to believe this is transmission related problem. at 80 mph the high pitched grinding almost metal sound was louder than my SRS catback exhaust. The car is 100% stock. Could this be a leaky intake, or turbo related? the car is too hot to check right now but, I will take off the intake tomorrow and check it out. note: the sequel seems to get louder as boost/ engine speed increases. any help or thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: could the shaft inside the turbo squeal?
