CSVT squeaks when i shift at high RPMS

[JEFFtourCT]

hey, I tried searching about this. I've talked about it before, but never really came to a conclusion... just kind of let it go..

When I shift at higher RPMs, such as.. um, merging onto the highway very fast, ... or racing on a track......

The car will squeak at mid to completed shift. not a very loud belt sound, but just a quiet little "chirp" (and no, it's not the tires)

Someone said something about a throw out bearing.. or something like that.. not really sure..

its the serp belt/tensioner. VERY COMMON on nearly ALL MTX duratec Contours

No remedy other than not shifting quickly at redline.

I love that sound
Sounds a bit like a blow off valve, when you have a turbo, but you don't... Why would you want to get rid of it?

well not knowing if it is doing more harm everytime I hear it.. if its not a big deal then i wont worry about it anymore... it just sounds like when it squeaks something might be getting more worn out.

I know that someone has asked about the high pitch whistling before.. the had said that they have the KKM with the adapter.. I have that same set up and I believe that the whistle comes from the space between the adapter and the MAF .. i had said that i love that sound too..

It sounds nothing like a BOV. Or even a Stock DV.:troutslap:
