I have a 1998 GT and everytime I redline it from a standstill it will squel-(like there is a loose belt or something)shifting from first to second gear.What the hell is it and how do I fix it.

 

Don't redline it maybe?

 

i have a similar noise that i get when i do that (very rarely though) sounds like it's coming from the rear of my car.....i figured it's the shocks/springs making a squeak on mine since mine are worn and old....just a thought......



....or it could be that massive amount of NPI power i cars have

 

look on your timing cover & see if your drivebelt is rubbing anywhere . I would almost guarantee it's that . when did you last replace it ?

 

mine does that sometimes too. i just stopped redlining it. lol. and its been fine.

The squeal is from the belt slipping. You might try a new belt if the old one has a few miles on it.

HTH,

mine does that,too.
and it sounds like it's coming from the rear

 

Exactly, its the belt slipping, when it shifts the motor suddenly drops RPM and all the accesories the belt drives have to slow down too, so the inertia of the pulleys may make them spin at different speeds for a moment causing the squeel,,, if you hear it from the rear, maybe your just chirping the tires, lol

 

def the belt slipping

 

+1, but I dunno about the rear noise, maybe tire chirping like stated above ^^^
