98 gsx squeek when downshift
so i have a 98 gsx... Bought 4000 miles ago. 115000 miles on it now. In those 4000 miles i have replaced sooo many parts including a clutch, starter, belts gaskets. ect. But my new issue is when i downshift to slow down not to pass, there is a squeek coming out of my car. almost like a whistle. i have no idea what it is. When i back my car up it sounds like the drive shaft might be squeeking a little bit also dont know if these problems are related... SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP this car is becoming a money pit

Re: 98 gsx squeek when downshift
Ha ha... well man, DSM's are known for eating money. However, I dont think your problem is a problem at all. Sounds to my like its your BOV dumping. If its louder its possible that the dump tube came off and is venting to atmosphere, but nothing bad can really happen from that.

Re: 98 gsx squeek when downshift
Also may be just a little boost leak. Something may not be clamped down 100% or even may have a small pin-sized hole somewhere. But check the BOV first.

Re: 98 gsx squeek when downshift
bdela005,
you have what's called the "dsm squeal" at least in some circles. It is totally normal, our cars are old, they will make noises. It's nothing to worry about. If it only squeaks when you are downshifting, then be happy, because you can be 100% sure you are driving a real dsm
