i've got a pronounced chirping/squeaking noise upon downshifting in to 2nd or 1st for engine braking. if you take the car out of gear there's no noise.

I removed the plastic cover in the boot and identified the noise as belt related as when rolling the car back and forth you could hear it.

at first was thinking belt lube would fix it but after searching for belt lube online the harley guys aren't fans and attribute the noise to a belt tension issue.

anyone else have this problem? i've got about 3,000 miles on my car and it started about 500-800 miles ago.

thoughts? also struggling to find a good mechanic in the bay area as the car guys don't want to touch it and the bike guys are scared as well and also complain about their lack of space in the shop.
