shooter is on a distinguished road
I cannot believe I finally found someone who has this exact same problem. The techs at the dealership couldn't hear it when we went for a ride. I don't understand how no one can hear it but me when I bring them for a ride. Its not even a subtle noise. Have you found out the solution to this yet. My tranny is pretty much shot as of two weaks ago. I bought some time with a fluid and filter change but now something is leaking everywhere. Doesn't look like tranny fluid.
I would describe the squeak to be a very very high pitched screech. It only makes this noise just above 3k rpms. Usually only when its about to shift to 4th, but I can duplicate it in manual so it doesn't seem like its related to shifting. I also noticed it faintly in other gears.
I am curious about this because my X has done this from the day when I bought it a year ago. It shifts smoothly, so I just ignored it.


"Squeak when gearbox changes from 3rd to 4th - new issue - I get a funny squeak when the auto box changes from 3rd to 4th. I've noticed this since the car was in to have the rear brakes and steering column bearings replaced. Doesn't always happen, loudness of the squeak seems to be related to level of acceleration. Can often be reproduced by going in to manual mode and accelerating briskly in 3rd, changing to 4th above 3k rpm. Will tell the dealer about this next time it's booked in."
