I installed my short shifter for my MSP on Sunday, 9/13. Later that day, i started hearing small squeaks here and there, but whenever I braked and started going again, it would go away. I figured it was the heat shield on my exhaust, as I had to play with that to installed the short shifter.
Later, it got worse, To where it was squeaking a lot whenever I was driving. Even when I shifted it into neutral and let the car roll (after I had been cruising, not rolling it down a hill) it woudl still squeak. The squeaking would only stop if i pressed on the brakes, it would stop immediately. But if I let go of the breaks, the squeaking would start again.
I fiddled around with the heat shield, and can't find anything wrong with it. It's not rubbing against the exhaust, but it barely touches the shifter. Do you think it could be my breaks? I plan to go home later and check my rear breaks, but I don't have much time on my hands, no garage, so I'd like to try to pinpoint this problem to shorten my time searching for it.
Any help would help.
