Belt Squeals?
When I put the pedal to the floor, my belts scream as the gear changes (auto trans). I oiled the belts and haven't fixed anything

Remove the belt, thoroughly clean the oil off all the pulleys, and put a new Goodyear Gatorback belt on.

Not sure but that is what I generally use and they aren't bad. But I do hate the fact that even Goodyear are made in Zimbobway (or some other country you can't even pronounce) now.

Gatorbacks run about $30 and they are the best one out there.

Yes replace the belt, dont ever oil a belt..

The old stand by was rub some bar soap (Ivory etc) on the inside of the belt in several spots
