Default Weird squeak need help!

Ok so here is the thing just started last night but I get this weird squeak whenever I'm driving and my rpms are between 1,000 and 1,500 it doesn't do it when I'm idle or if I'm in park I need help figuring it out because it's loud and annoying

Have you looked at the belts and pullys?
Is your car an auto or manual trans?

It's an auto but I mean we looked at them and we set the car in park and gave it some gas to see if they would squeak and it doesn't only when I'm driving and I hit that range in rpms is when it squeaks

Ok. I do recall a thread on here with a very simalar problem. That car was an auto. I cant recall what the problem was exactly but it had something to do with the tranny or tranny mounts. I don't know its been awhile. Try puttin in a search and see what it pops up.

My car is a manual so not really my area.

How old are your belts and tensioner/ idler pullys? Could still be coming from them. Possibly a vacuum leak somewhere too. I did a search and did see one about a possible bad torque converter. I'd start with the easy stuff first obviously.

Good luck.

alex is it a loud squeak? or a little one? it could just be from the cold weather outside or the trans mount could be bad. does it feel like the trans is banging up agains the bottom of the car?
