Thank You :-) its also been classed as a "SquawK" now too.... apparently you can buy oil to stop it....

Hi All, I have a 2008 GV 2.8 with 55k on the clock. three weeks ago it developed a "chirping" sound when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear. this happens every time i'm driving. this chirping is quite loud. sometime i get another very quiet "chirp" from 4th to 5th, and again sometime when i'm changing down manually from 4th to 3rd. i get no "chirping when going into reverse or drive, or going up and down through the gears manually except the odd 4th to 3rd. (6 speed tiptronic type gearbox) done a little googling to find out what the issue is, found out it could be low oil, or burnt oil. The gearbox has no dipstick so couldn't check the level. bought some ATF4 mopar oil and a kit to suction the old oil out, removed about 2 litres of old oil. refilled the GB with the Mopar and put in 3.8l as the manual said. still getting the "chirp" two weeks later. Today i have found where i think the chirp is coming from, under the battery is a set of cables plugged in to a foil covered bit on the end of the gearbox... (Please see the attached picture of what i mean). Can someone please tell me what is inside here and is this likely to be my issue? if not, anyone else got / had this issue and resolved it? Thanks All.
