wierd screeching sound when changing gears
I'm having a problem when I change gears at 3k or 4k I will hear a screeching like noise coming from engine bay, but it will only do it every so often (more often then I would like). Once it does it, it keeps on doin it till I shut off the car and let it sit. It was also do it when I rev it in neutrol, and it sounds like it might be coming from the belts.
I have AC,PS, no airpump. I'm using stock alt pulley with one belt.
Any ideas?

also , alot of people here would say that if you have no air pump you should have a dual alt belt pulley with 2 belts to prevent slipping. i cant say that it could be the case for you because i have the same set-up (no airpump, ps, ac with single belt) and it works fine. check and/or change your belt and make sure everything's nice and tight.

Probably a belt. They make a spray (or coating) that's supposed to stop belt squeeling. Check your tensions.
The dual alternator pulley is for your water pump. One belt isn't enough to keep it from slipping. Considering FC's run hot and are easy to overheat... never a good thing.

if you can hear it while the tranny is in neutral then just pop the hood and listen to the engine, you should get a good idea if it is the belt or not by being right in front of it.
