12/20/2012 JimmSeveral possibilities; faulty / worn (glazed) drive belt, faulty / worn drive belt tensioner, faulty drive belt accessory (alternator bearing, water pump bearing, power steering pump bearing, etc.). Lift the hood and with the engine idling and in Park or Neutral - listen for the sources of the sound.

12/17/2012 JimmThe repair would depend on the exact problem. Is the output shaft of the transmission of the driveshaft yoke (where the u-joint connects) broken? If yes, then simply replace the driveshaft yoke where it mates to the transmission. Is the u-joint itself broken? If yes, then replace the u-joint.
Try the many on-line auto parts sources; such as - www.autopartswarehouse.com, www.partsgeek.com or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts.
