Potential transmission problem, help me out...
so a few months ago one of my wheel bearings went out (2nd time... stupid bearings) and while on the lift with it in gear and running the dealer noticed a rattle coming from the tranny.
I listened to it, its basically what it would sound like if you had some bolts in a tin can and rotated it around. Weird.
This week i have noticed a weird squeaking when i first drive it in the AM, its been kinda cold. I thought it was steering but i dont think so anymore
I am bringing it in soon for work and to have this checked out, just thought id ask for opinions.

65k on original fluid? Gear rattle is pretty common on MTX's [Insert usual Redline MT90 comment ]
Dunno about the squeeks, probably the drive belt. Again, at around 70k you should do the timing belt and drive belt.

Sounds good. Tranny fluid is an easy DIY, get some Redline MT90 to give to the dealer...
if you don't have the time to do it, and do the rear with 75w90 gear oil while you're at it.
