Clutch whining???
OK, I own a 67' Firebird, I can work on it with no problems. I just traded my 91 Chevy Silverado Monster truck for a 95 Camaro...
My problem is this....The truck, like my Firebird(455) was a Hot Rod, it had a 350 crate motor that was easy for me to work on if needed. Now the 95 Camaro is starting to frustrate me like crazy...there is an annoying whining noise coming from underneath my floorboard (I would say the trans,clutch,etc.)
When the car is not in motion at a red light, I hold the clutch to the floor while in first gear (
for the green light), and it whines, I take it out of gear and it stops. It does this in 2nd gear also sometimes. It seems worse first thing in the morning when the car hasn't been drivin in a while. Sometimes later after alot of driving, it stops. I really hate it if there is an issue with the trans, cause i will have to pay the dealer to fix it. I needed a car to haul my kids around safely, and I wasn't buyin a freakin import, so the camaro was my choice (my third one by the way...82/83 pacecar & 87). I would've gotten a new firebird, but I despise those flip up lights!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I can't do alot with the newer F-body, there's toooo much goin on under the hood. I'm use to carburated monsters, I can't spend much time getting to know the new one, so I'd like to avoid spending too much on a diagnoses at the dealer, so if anyone can help here, that would be great. Depending on what may be the issue, I might be able to do the job myself. I just need to be pointed in the right direction by someone that has experienced this before.
Thanx for any help you may be able to provide....
