Re: 5kQT squealing

[Harley Cascio <harley@radix.net>]

Whew!! Tried it, and the noise doesn't change.  There is something new
though:  now the car does it only for about 8-10 seconds after starting,
then stops.  Once the noise has stopped at idle in neutral, it only comes
back when the clutch is depressed, no other time.  And, got the kid next
door to help ( 8 years old), when the clutch is on, and the noise on,
squealing is in the front of the car, not the middle or rear.

thanks,
Harley
