Car Belt Squeels

[SLoe]

You should NEVER put ANYTHING (belt dressing, oil, coke, or godknows what else you guys might try) on your belts. This is the first thing I learned in the class I went to hosted by Goodyear. Unless you just like to buy belts. If the belt is squealing then refer to Shpyder's list. You have other problems. How many miles on your pulleys? They wear out too.

Dirty oil

is your ps fluid full? when my friends 95 gst ps belt was squealing, it was becuz ps fluid line had a leak. so he had to refill it every few days or the friggin thing will squeal loud.

Ok.. no more oil on the belts. I have no idea what a pulley is so hopefully you guys can help me so i dont go spending more than I should. The car has 146000 miles in it.. When im driving nowdays, I hear a scratchy noise after I shift while the car is moving. Could it be the Clutch? Then again, it's slipping out of gear.. example: I drop it in 2nd, I hit a bump and pop.. it's in neutral...

So it's eithier..

a) Transmission
b) Clutch

As for the squeeling...

a) PS fluid
b)

Is this Correct??

***Breaking News****

Ok, soooooo, I start the car tonite and let it warm up for a good 5 minutes. Hours before I had added some PS fluid in the car so im thinking it should be better..However, I still hear the squeeling. Start to go down the street when suddenly the PS belt comes off..

I get it to a gas station but I could barely turn the wheel. 2 hours later.......


So now I have to wait until Monday and take it back to that moron that hurried to put my waterpump together, cause I know he was the last one to take that belt off and put it back on...Stay tuned...

You had to get towed because your power steering went out?! Man, I took mine off purposely and I'm daily driving it. Mine slipped off once on the highway and I didn't realize it until I had to turn.

But anyways, so the waterpump screwed up on you too?

No the waterpump is fine.. But I think the jackoff that put it in screwed up something that has to do with that belt. It was closing time and he was in a hurry to get the car out of the shop.. so who knows..

***Update***

As of 1/09/06-monday, I fixed the belt, the car doesn't squeel like it did before.

Today 1/10/06-Tuesday, Im driving to work early this morning on the expressway. I get to forth gear and suddenly the car cuts off on me.. AAA comes out for me (3rd time this week) and tows it to the Shop ONCE AGAIN

I spoke to a Road Ranger before the AAA came out and he said it could be the Fuel Pump that gave out on me

Is this something that's going to cost me alot (for estimate purposes) of course...?
