This noise may disappear when putting the transmission in neutral, and may only be heard when the transmission is in Drive. Although it may sound like the whole engine is falling apart, the cause is only a worn plastic coupler that connected the input shaft of the blower to the rotors. The holes in the coupler get worn "egg Shaped" and the backlash causes the noise. Generally, you can drive for a lot of miles without a failure of the part, if you can stand the strange looks you will get from other drivers at stop lights. GM will want to sell you a whole rebuilt supercharger unit, about $1600. plus labor, since they do not service the internal parts of the supercharger. Check online for rebuilt units, usually about $500. or maybe less, from independent rebuilders. You will need advanced mechanical skills and tools to change them out, so be good friends with a good mechanic. If you are skilled this much, the coupler is available separately on the internet for about $30, if you want to tackle the job yourself. Again, advanced mechanic skills and tools will be needed.

1998 park avenue ultra has loud knocking coming from super charger what could it be?
It might be the supercharger going bad. The supercharger has a little coupler that is located in between the supercharger nose and the main body. This coupler is located inside and once it starts to wear out it will start making a clunk sound. You can replace the coupler, replace the nose, or rebuild the whole supercharger.

How to fix a supercharger with rattling in snout of supercharger is there a diagram?
If your supercharger is an Eaton type supercharger and it is making noise that is an early indication that the supercharger might need a rebuild. A lot of times the noise is actually coming from a little coupler that is located in the inside of the supercharger. This coupler has 6 holes in it and over time these rounded holes will wear out and become an oval shape. Once it becomes oval shape the supercharger will start to make a rattle sound. If left untreated the rattle will lead to the bearings going bad and then the seals. You will then need to get a complete rebuilt done on the supercharger. The coupler is easy to replace. You basically have to take the supercharger noise off with the 6 bolts that holds it and then once the two ends pull a part the coupler will be sitting right there. Just slide the coupler off of the pins and replace it. Then slide the two ends together and bolt it back up. You will also need to refill the supercharger with oil.

Can you use SYNTHETIC OIL in a supercharger?
Yes, you can use synthetic oil in a supercharger, provided it is compatible with the manufacturer's specifications. Synthetic oils often offer better thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, making them a suitable choice for high-performance applications like superchargers. However, always consult the supercharger's manual or manufacturer to ensure the correct type and viscosity of oil is used for optimal performance and longevity.
How do you disable the supercharger in a 1998 Grand Prix GTP and what are the advatages and disadvatages of doing diabling it?
you can't disable it. the only way not to spin the supercharger is take the belt off the supercharger. there are 2 belts on these engines. the one that drives the supercharger does not run anything else. to remove you need to get a 15 mm soclet and rachet and place it on the bolt of the tensioner. take the tension off and remove the belt. only advantage would be you wouldn't be making boost so not as much fuel is added. disadvantage would be that a Honda civic would beat you.
