From dead stop, in first its squeals, put it in second, squeals a bit, then its fine after all the way to 5th.. No squeal in reverse either. Though it may be drive shaft, thought it may be breaks. Dont know what it is. Any help appreciated.

It sounds like a belt. Have you checked the serp belt to make sure it isn't loose?

Check to make sure the brakes are okay. THere is a sensor that could be touching the rotor.
