Hello tranny fellas
In this thread...

...I went through hoops to try and find the source of the cold-engine bird chirp noise I am getting. I still haven't found the cause, but I did come across something the other day that is interesting:
If it's doing the chirp, and I'm driving down the road, if I put the transmission in NEUTRAL, the chirp stops. Shift back to D, and it's on again. Now, I've never heard a U-joint do a bird chirp noise like this, but there's a first time for everything. Could it be the rear driveshaft u? But my real question for this subforum is, could this cold-engine bird chirp be somehow transmission-related? Flywheel?
