transmission?

I have a 93 6 spd, with 83,000 miles, shifts fine, runs good, just makes a annoying consistant chirping noise only in 1,2,3 gear when on the pedal, only at wot, other then that its good, what could be that noise? then when I put it in neutral it goes away?

I have that symptom on a 1990 that started after the transmission was replaced. I didn't change any of the clutch components because that had been done a few hundred miles earlier. I speculate that it could be the self lubricating pilot bushing. In the old days a dab of grease would be put on tip of the pilot shaft. Basically I am ignoring the sound.

well I wasnt too sure it was the tranny, but the symptons were pointing too it. But my tranny is running good, all gears are good, clutch feels good, so I can I make the noise stop?

Maybe the throw-out bearing? Tend to act up/squeal w/high miles.

idk, could it be the dry-shaft? I know its something rotating, cause I can hear it going in circles, maybe dryshaft,tire area, or tranny?

Only at WOT???
I don't know what's causing that noise on your Vette but on mine, it's the tires chirping.

At one time I had a chirping sound (not tires) that happened when I gave it gas. The problem was hard to find but it turned out to be a u joint in the right rear half shaft. The noise would occur without touching the clutch.
