wicked squeal from transmission, wondering why
i just made a 900 mile trip last week from Massachusetts to Indiana and my '68 K10 ran beautifully the whole way. but after i got i got her going the next day and for about a minute or two after i get her on the road its making this nasty squealing noise when i shift through the gears and after a minute or two it goes away. i'm just wondering if its something i should be concerned with or if there is anything i can do to fix it or if it will just go away.
thanks for your help. ![]() |

Sure it's the transmission and not a belt slipping?

Re: wicked squeal from transmission, wondering why
Standard Transmission? Sounds like a throw out bearing. I would check fluid in trans just to be sure also. Noises hardly ever go away, usually will get worse as time goes on.

Re: wicked squeal from transmission, wondering why
usually when they go away, is about the time you are calling for a wrecker.

Re: wicked squeal from transmission, wondering why
i guessed transmission because it starts happening when i get her going and is worst in third gear, but i really have no idea. i think i'll start by checking tran fluid and i don't really know how to check to see if a belt is slipping significantly like that, besides if it is just really loose. i appreciate your help and if anyone has any other ideas that would be awesome.

Re: wicked squeal from transmission, wondering why
oh yeah, i'm not familiar at all with vehicles like this, this baby is still new to me. but i'm guessing that a throw out bearing would not be easy or cheap to fix. any ideas on how to check that?

Another vote for belts, check tightness, and overall condition of them

Re: wicked squeal from transmission, wondering why
Well, the throw out bearing shouldnt make any noises when the clutch is UP.....you will hear it when you depress the clutch to shift. u joints can squeal like he!! if they are on the way out....just a thought?
