I recently had the gears changed on my 2001 GT Conv. This will be the 3rd set that have been installed. The first two times were re-done because of excessive grinding sounds coming from the gears. The last two times have had a squeal that has been coming from under the car. But they opened the rear end up again and everything is to spec. Nothing has moved or no signs of metal in the gear oil. They checked the transmission, no metal in the oil. My U joints on the driveshaft have no grease fittings, so they couldn't lube those, but said that it didn't sound like that would be the problem, but it sounds like it is coming from that area. Usually squeals around 35 to 50, and mostly when you accelerate and idle at those speeds does it squeal. If anyone has any idea, please for the love of God help! Its embarassing.... Thanks...
