Hi Ray,

Is the noise coming from the transmission ?

Kind of sounds like the reverse band is slipping... Does it make the same sound in the forward gears too ?

Scott.

When was the last time the fluid was replaced ?

Does it slip when driving ? Or have you not chanced that ? ;)

Just a thought, but if the filter is plugged and the fluid is old, it might be what's making the noise. 

I'm assuming it's a TH350.

No it doesn't slip. Fluid is good. I'm willing to bet it's the bands like you said. Its a 400

Or just full ?

I'd change the filter... Just to be safe. ;)

I agree ! Probably best to just have the whole thing gone through

 Years ago I worked with a guy who owned a '74 Monte.

One night he got home and parked his Monte in the driveway.

The next morning he couldn't get it to back out of the driveway..... And not being mechanically inclined, he sold the car. CHEAP !!!

A few days later, the guy who bought it had changed the fluid and filter, and drove it over to thank him for the fantastic deal he got. 

Told me the noise it was making made him think the transmission was shot.... 

:k

Ray,

When you change the filter, check the pan for metal filings, and if the fluid smells burnt or discoloured. 

That'll give you a better idea if there's something bigger wrong.

Well ? What is the squeak sound. I'm really curious as to what it is. Please, let us know.😊

🙂It squeaks going in and out of gear.

Try flushing and changing filter on transmission.

Also lube column shifter and see how it goes

If it's squeaking while out of gear..... Assuming it's not moving.....

I don't think the U-joints are the issue.

Just my $0.03...... (Canadian) lol

I was going to suggest you remove all the belts (2 or 3) on the ft of the engine and restart it.

I'm probably way off but it's free to try it.

So, I PM'd Ray Ray 72 and quote " that must have been it, Tightened the up and hasn't made the noise since" . Glad that is settled!IMG_1438.thumb.jpg.9faf796a7eabcb30e6cd2a9a06bce3d6.jpg
