Whining sound coming from the bottom of the engine?
hi everybody i have a wierd problem yesterday i was driving my 2000 Z28 normally just cruising i stopped to put gas and on the way home it started randomly whining it sounds like a supercharger. i know for a fact its not the power steering and its not the rear end, as soon as i start the car it starts the faster i drive it the higher pitch it gets, it does it at all speeds and all rpm through P R N 2 1, i seriously cant figure it out! any help would be greatly appreciated thank you ill be back later tonight!

wow
well fellas i figured out the problem, some how some way one of the screws to the flex plate on the tranny broke off?.....................wich is really disappointing , i remover the cover from the bells housing kind of around where the oil filter is and i noticed the piece of screw, so the sound that it was making was the screw grinding against the flexplate and the housing, it also awnsers why the car started vibrating, pretty scary, well thanks guys for the help now i have to see if its possible to do the job in my garage by myself
