i think i have a supercharger
seriously...whenever i turn the wheel and hit the gas at the same time, or not even hit the gas.....theres some kind of a sound coming out as if a supercharger was under the hood. i cant even tell where its coming from.....its kinda cool cuz some ricer kid heard it when i was turning and pulled up next to me and asked if i had a s/c....but other than that.....it ****ing sux!

it's ur power steering pump. i have the same problem. it's like a loud whining noise that gets louder as you push the gas down and eventually goes away after the car warms up. i replaced my belts and even the alternator itself and the noise was still there. then someone told my it was my power steering pump. and no, you tranny doesn't/shouldn't make a whining noise at all.

dru106's car made a whining noise just before the tranny went out, and now mine is starting to and the trans is slipping. there is a difference in sound because trans whine is constant and the ps is alot louder and erratic.

Rep Power: 813 well it didn't get rid of the slipping and i didn't really expect it to fix a mechanical problem. oh well i'm screwed its just a matter of time now. the lc did make the tranny shift super smooth again like it used to but it still slips. really annoying
