Hello,
I have a pulsating squeal in the morning when the car is moving and under scceleration at low speed. If I let off the gas w/o pushing in the clutch the squeal goes away, but returns again. If I push in the clutch it goes away,then returns when clutch is released. When I reach about 35 mph (and above) it will go away and it won't return when I reach city speeds again. This squeal will go away after about 7-8 city blocks and won't return until the next morning after being parked all night.:eek:
Thank you for your help.

Hey,
It might be your drive belt. Mine does this as well. Usually it is just the belt warming up in the morning.
I applied some belt dressing, and that helped for a while, but the squeal came back.

It was the drive belt.
I got a new one. Took the old one off , there peaks and valleys in the new belt, for the most part there were no peaks in the old one and you could see that it was slipping in the valleys.:naughty:

glad to hear the good news : )
I can still see the peaks and valleys in mine, but my father who owned the car before me said it has always done this, with each new belt. It usually starts when the car starts up, then goes away
