I was out taking my bird for a spin yesterday after changing the fuel pump. The car run very nice and have a very good and quick
response since me and a friend of mine, who knowīs stuff like this many times better then me, tuned the carburator with some other springs and needles. Feels like I have 50 or so more horsepower now. Never the less, I was out driving and everything was perfect. It changed gear perfectly and with ease. The car felt realy good and fast, so I drove like 70 miles all together.
When I came home and parked it in the garage I could here a ( just ) a little chirping. But it was very, very little and I thought it might be one of those noises that sometimes comes ( and goes ) when the engine is hot. The temp was normal all the time though.
As it is a nice and sunny day here today, I thought Iīll take Ruth to work, and reversed her down my driveway, and took off. But after like 25 meters ( less the 100 feet ) the car started to squeel VERY loud. Iīm talking about VERY LOUD! It sounded like a pig in pain. So I braked and moved the gear selector around to see if anything would take away the squeel, but it still sounded as loud as before. The car didnīt want to go forward or reverse after that, hut still squeel all the time. I was now sure I would vake up the whole neigborhood, and I was worried about the transmission. Waited a little while, abd tryed to start again, but all the noice was still there and the car donīt want to move. As I didnīt even manage to get it back home I left it there and took my other car to work. Any suggestions what have happend, and what I should do? Iīm depressed
I checked the level of transmission oil before I drove yesterday and it was the right level.

) to have a look. The sound was exactley as the transmission have sounded a few years back, when I didnīt have enough oil trying to select reverse. To make a long story short, I was in the car while he was under the hood, and he located the sound to the front somewhere. Then he saw that the steering pump belt was stucked ( making the noice, and now also smoke... ). So we just cut the belt, and I could drive the car back to the garage with a very heavy steering. Will order a new pump
