Tranny chirp

My C6 has developed a wierd little chirp when I drop into reverse first thing in the morning. Only when the engine is on fast idle (1,000rpm). Otherwise it's fine. Anyone experience this before? Seems like everytime I get caught up something else needs attention!

It could be your driveshaft... there is some slop between the tranny and rearend so when you switch from forward to reverse the shaft jerks... check your u-joints and make sure they are greased and tight...
