well what could be the cause? i dont have any money to fix them or get them checked out. hell, i dont even know where i would get them checked out. anyways, what could be wrong with the tranny? its not like a whine its more of a howl like i said. it doesnt make sense, the guy who sold it to me is really picky and owned 12 foxs. so i think he'd be able to tell after he got the car back from getting it done.

also above 1500, all i can hear is exhaust... its like, when i give it gas the howl goes away, but if im just cruzing at a low rpm in 5th it howls. ive tested it out to see if it goes away and it does when i accelerate.

My FRPP 3.73s whine a little bit, but barely noticeable. Also, my friend has 3.42s in his Firebird and they whine, but I wouldn't call it a howl.

Just how loud is this "howl"?

That might help the noise!

its a loud ghostly howl, its undescribeable.... i wish i had a way of recording it. i wouldnt call it a whine... its a deep sound.

i would bet that the u-joints will fix it!

Well I hope so. Someone said that calling an offroad shop and getting some ujoints from them would be better because they are stronger. Is this true?

Dont really know they arnt that hi tech! If you just buy some from ford or a goo quality you will be fine!
