Changed the fluid last night. Now it has a squeal when in forward or reverse while stopped or accelerating easily. Hard accelerating makes the squeal stop. Shifts fine though. Squeal quits in overdrive. Also threw a P0455 this morning (evap system). Any ideas? The fluid does smell a little burnt, but maybe it's just used fluid smell???
 






bump??
 






Did you replace the filter? Did you remove the old plastic seal (without scratching the walls of the hole) and seat corectly the new filter?
What fluid did you use?
 






yes, filter was replaced very easily. Old o-rings came out with old filter, new one's slid right in.

I did notice last night while it was idling that the exhaust seems to be loose. I guess it's possible that the leak caused by this at the manifold is "whistling," making me think it's in the tranny.
