U241E/2.4 Highlander

All,

my wife's transmission I believe has developed a "ticking/squeaking" sort of noise when put in gear. In Park and Neutral it seems quiet. I wonder if it is actually the trans like it sounds or some other thing. Anyone ever have the same issue? It shifts fine.. I did a cooler line "flush" just awhile ago with T-IV. (have to consult my records as to when/amount of miles ago) I think maybe its time to do it again, maybe with some Maxlife.

Thoughts? It has just over 130k miles on it.

You mean it squeaks when it's engaged? Does it also squeak or squawk if you try and rock the car back and forth while in park? It could have something to do with engine mounts or exhaust gaskets as the engine rocks back and forth due to torque.

Yeah, when its in any gear, D, 2, L or R. In park the sqeaking/ticking stops. I'm gonna start with checking the fluid level. But honestly its about due for another cooler line flush. I think a case of maxlife is about $85.00 from amazon.
