Short squeel at automatic shift points
I thought that it might be the belt or the tensioner. I replaced both. (By the way, that is a PIA with the z52 handling option on an 88 because the bolt doesn't clear.) Anyway, those parts did not solve the problem. Any ideas? I can't really take one item out at a time.

My '88 has a "Chirp" type sound at shift point, when 'Get on It'.
I never asked anyone about it, but if the trans goes, I'll just get a new one [120K miles] its the original.
I'd be interested to know what it is too :thumbs:

Are you guys sure it is coming from the transmission? I had the same issue with my 90, short chirp when I shifted fast and hard. It started right after removing Mr. Frisbee, I wonder of those things really had a purpose.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had some loose or bad mounting hardware related
to the tranny, exhaust or the motor... That jar when shifting will show weaknesses
if you have loose, worn hardware there. Thats where I would look....
Get under there and start yanking on stuff, you'll find it...
