Need advice ASAP

[JERRYC]

Have a 2002GT (5 SPD) For the last week or so I have noticed a whistling sound coming from the car. I can't tell where it's coming from. I don't hear it at idle. Is it a wheel bearing ? - Brake pad indicator ?-- Am I low on gear oil ? Would really like some input on this before I go to the dealer !

Thanks in advance

Jerry

Give us more information. Does it happen all the time or just every once and a while. Or things you do that make it happen. Where does the noise sound like its coming from. etc. etc.

Does it get louder with RPM, only happen when braking? Give us more info.

Been noticing it more and more lately. The faster I go - the louder it gets. Once I stop, or as I'm hitting the brakes - it's not there. Can't place exactly where the sound is coming from but it sounds like from the rear area.

Thanks again !

Gears, maybe How long ago did you install them?

Had the gears put in in June 2003

It could be dusty rear brakes or a brake pad indicator. That would make it whistle while you where driving and not necesarily when you are braking. Is it a whistling sound or a squeeling sound? Does it happen if you are in neutral and rev the engine?

Doesn't happen in Neutral with a rev -nope.

More of a whistling sound - not a squeal

Thanks guys for the help so far - I think you're starting to narrow it down for me
