We have studied the metal-insulator-transition in single crystal perovskite manganites by measurements of velocity of ultrasound waves. The single crystals of La_1−xCa_xMnO₃ (LCMO), Nd_1−xCa_xMnO₃ (NCMO) and Pr_1−xCa_xMnO₃ (PCMO) were grown by zone melting technique. For LCMO the dependence of shear modulus on the temperature (40-280K) and magnetic field (0-5T) was measured by means of runtime of shear waves. The results show, that metal-insulator-transition is accompanied by a decrease of the stiffness, which as well can be driven by the temperature and/or the magnetic field. A comparison with the data of NCMO and PCMO crystals will be done.
