Could you be more specific? It would also help if you told us what engine and transaxle you have. Finally, your engine is laboring. It is moving 3100 lbs+ of car plus you down the highway at 75 mph.

the car is an 89 se homomatic...the sound is very slight, but when i roll up all the windows (or at least the 2 that actually work), and turn off my stereo, i can hear it. The best way to describe "it" is as a whining sound...as the rpm's increase, so does the pitch of the sound...its really weird, i just know it wasn't there before...
