Grinding/Screeching noise when shifting into 3rd Gear (I'm assuming). What's the Diagnosis?

As the video shows, when I accelerate fast and hit 3rd gear, there is a high-pitched grinding, before the noise stops after a few seconds. I've never worked with transmissions much, especially automatics, so any help would be much appreciated.

over the internet that sounds like a belt slipping

It's always at a specific RPM and only for a few seconds, but if that were true it could save me a few thousand dollars. I guess I could try revving it up to that level tomorrow and get back to you.

Can you get that squeal while in park? If so, take off the serpentine belt and see if the noise disappears. The noise disappearing means a pulley bearing.

Sounds like a belt to me also. My 79 f150 does the same thing.

Yeah, belts for sure!

Check all the alternator/PS pump/AC brackets and mounting bolts as well, had two break off on my F150 and it would squeal like crazy. Belt appeared to be tight but it would loosen up under a load and the alternator bracket would move.
