I believe that a squeal from the transmission area was written up in an old QCUSA column by Ned Ritchie. The squeal comes from the rear crankshaft oil seal. Air is drawn into the engine over the hardened seal causing a squeal or whistle. If I remember correctly, the diagnosis can be checked by removing the engine oil dip stick with the engine running and sqealing. Air entering via the dip stick tube reduces the air flow past the seal, reducing or eliminating the noise. Worth a try. Alan Pemberton 85 TQC 82 Coupe 80 Civic] -
