Howling

OK today while driving home i noticed my car was making a weird howling noise when i go off the gas at 3000rpm in 3rd, this just happened so i believe if i clutch in the sound goes away and i dont know if it does it in anyother gear . unfortunately I know best bet is to take her to a mechanic but was wondering if you guys could throw any imput.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Howling

I don't hear nuthin!!!!



Try decel from 3000 in other gears, see if noise is still present.

Where does noise come from?

Exhaust heat shields rusted apart from the cat/exhaust?

If you take it to a shop, be sure to demonstrate the problem to the mechanic. Take him for a quick ride so everyone is on the same page.

Now how on Earth is anyone else supposed to know you don't have factory stuff there?

But I DID guess exhaust rattles so that still counts!!

Just going to neutral won't hurt it (as long as it wasn't under a load, and it should be hard as hell to do that under a load).

Loud crunching noi$e$ from the trans are the ones that hurt.
