Re: failing front cv or trans bearing?

["bmxman 69" <bmxman_69@hotmail.com>]

I think my 1986 2.2L Coupe GT might be doing the same thing. It used to let 
out a short high pitched squeek when I speed shifted it into 3rd. It would 
also do it if I goosed it in say second gear going about 10mph. I noticed 
today however, that it did it if I let off the gas to fast when it was cold.

I think it may be an engine mount because it only does it at times when you 
would expect excess engine movement. I thought it could've been my clutch 
too, but it doesn't slip. The other strange thing is that it doesn't do it 
when I drive it all the time. It did it today after being in and out of 
maintenance shops for over a week. I don't think it's a CV joint or the 
Transmission because they don't sound like that. Tranny's usually emit a 
loud whine when failing, your CV joints will knock when going around very 
tight turns.

Later,
Will

Sounds like we have the same problem.
