98 Civic High Pitched transmission noise

[steven112024]

I have a 98 Civic with an automatic transmission. During this summer I occasionally have it make a high-pitched noise when accelerating. It seems to happen when I change from 2nd to 3rd and usually when I first get started driving. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

I've never come across such a malady. Are you sure it's the tranny? Maybe a crack in a vaccum hose? Perhaps something hanging from the car that whistles at about that speed?

Define "high pitched" and where exactly the sound seems to be originating from. High pitch like a whistle or screech, or high pitch like louder than it should be, etc etc.

The reason I think it's the tranny is the noise happens right when the car shifts from 2nd to 3rd. It's definitely a high pitched screech and it will go away as I ease off the gas pedal.

Thanks.

one of the belts maybe? a buddy of mine used to have an 87 crown victoria that everytime he stomped on the gas, each time it shifted the serpentine belt squeeled like a pig getting skinned.

check your belts, I betcha.....
