Belt squeak?

Powashiftin · 10-11-2016, 03:30 PM

I heard what I think was a belt squeak of some sort when I let off the gas pedal right before redlining it in 1st gear - probably 7500 rpm. Any thoughts on what it can be?

Post a video so we can hear the sound. Could be a number of things.
How many miles on the car, what is the condition of the belts? If you see lots of cracks it might be time to replace them. Could also be a tensioner.
