Whine during reverse

[Fred]

I didn't even know he was going to sell it. I probably would have bought it. Especially for the give-away price he let it go for. :angry:



It was original and you can see what a creampuff (survivor) it was by the picture. The new owner painted it red and jacked it up!!! It makes me sick every time I see it. Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. lol.



Edit: Original, except for the Keystones he put on it in 1968.

whoa, he jacked it up??? what a nutcase!

 

[Fred]

Nutcase... I was thinking worse.

 

[scott r]

I was trying to be polite, and PG-rated, since there are probably people here who would be offended if I said what I really thought of someone who would do that to a GTO.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what happened to your ST baron?

 

[scott r]

Flip

Nothing happened. It's just been spitting and sputtering quite a bit lately. The poor thing is on its last leg...or cylinder. It was running on 5 cylinders monday, then I replaced the plugs on Tuesday, it was running better after that, but still making some noises that you don't want to hear coming from your engine. Then yesterday morning when I started it, it kinda sounded like the piston slapping the top of the cylinder, so I decided to go ahead and look harder for a car.

Today I drove a GTO and I was astonished. I've had performance cars most of my life, but this car even surprised ME.

sorry about hijacking your thread.

No worries about the hijack. Sorry to hear about your Trac troubles though. I was hoping your Trac would survive with the supercharger so I had my fingers crossed. Anyway, you got a 05 GTO? You lucky b@sta%* ! Nice car, but if I ever got one I'd remove the GTO badges. What trim and color? Pics please.

Back on topic, I only once heard a whine during reverse... It was my mother in law that was behand the ST... I've never heard the whining again, but my wife is still mad at me, I think she misses her mom... :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I think if someone put a supercharger on their trac with a few less miles on it, it might work for a long time. I had 60k on mine, even though they were relatively gentle miles and I am meticulous with my oil changes and other maintenance-related things, I think it's just a bit too much for the engine at that point. It ran like a banshee though.

Yep, 05 GTO, Yellow Jacket 6-speed with grey leather interior. I drove it today and decided that I MUST have it. I'm going to be leaving rubber all over town tonight. hehe
