It just resits a bit when cold, does better when warm, and makes a subtle, VERY subtle howling sound in 4th and 5th gear. Mostly in 4th gear. Still hear it with the new oil change. 1999 Boxster with 124k miles. 5 speed manual. I"m wondering, do I pull it and hope to fix it or pull it and replace with a used warranted tranny?

What transmission fluid did you use?
