I think you may want to check your waterpump too. That could be it. Thanks for the video. I've missed the way these cars sound, it's been a long winter!!

from the video it kind of sounds like a whine but im not to sure. to much wax in my ears i guess.

and you said it only does it when warm,neutral and park and when going slow. so 1st gear. and you feel a vibration. got to be something in the drivetrain.

it does sound like an accesory, like maybe a bad ac clutch but if you took the belt off it wouldnt make that noise. it doesnt really sound like anything in the exhaust. i think i'd check the torque converter and the flex plate. if you dont find anything there ..maybe look deeper into the tranny. it just seems odd that it only makes the noise in neutral and park and at low speeds. it kind of sounds like a gear wine but you dont have any gears engaged..

the sound doesnt change when i rev, just kinda fades out. my boss thinks it a bearing causing a vibration but i would think after 2 years something with the sound would change.

ill take a look at the flex plate. that would make sence for it to cause that if it rubs.

maybe i could take the harmonic balancer off for a bit to see it has something to do with that? is it safe to take that off?

I might even drop the trans. I cant take it anymore. i'm thinking its the transmission pump, or maybe oil pump? what else could it really be?

hold up bud dont take the balancer off an try to run the motor thats a no no. Im thinkin it could be the thrust bearing most of the way gone to, if i was you i would pull the trans and see if the flex plate is rubbing, if not then pull the motor and check the bearings. once you are in there, get all new rod and main bearings, get a new oil pump as well. clevite 77 bearings and melling oil pump. good stuff, and it will not burn to much of a hole in your pocket. I would say it is not a bearing thoe, because it should rattle or knock if it was. Now a solonide (Spelling) can make a noise like that to, so it could be the trans yet.
