I have a friend who has a 1980 FI TR7, and when he drives it, it makes a weird sound. The best way to describe the sound would be that it sounds like a kids play ray gun. "Phew...Phew" Loud enough that people were looking at us frightened. The car does have some transmission issues, grinding badly in fourth, and a very loud reverse. He asked me for my opinion, and I think it is a transmission problem. The car does not react to the sound, it does not bog down or buck. Could this be a universal, or AC commpressor, or driveshaft? I know this is a stre /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.giftch, but any ideas?
