when hitting between 6k and 6.5k rpm's, there's a belt? squeel that gets louder until the trans down shifts, then immediatly stops. i'm ordering new belts from joe, but does it sound like that's what it could be, or does this sound more like a bad pulley?? is there a way to check??just want to try and order the right parts. thanks guys!!jeff

Have you tried tightening the loosest belt?

If you are already replacing all of the belts, when you have them off, check all of the idlers and pulleys for extra play or drag when truning them by hand. It could just be old glazed belts though. Are there a lot of cracks on the ribbed side?
