changed this week. changed it due to a squeal that would happen occasionally in 1rst and 2nd. it didnt squeal for two days then came back to only when i turn at low speeds or downshift. the noise when i downshift has seemed to go away from when i went to work today and when i got off...

I wondering whether the PS pump may be making that noise. Have you topped the fluid off lately? (try that first) Or is it maybe that the pump is just at the end of it's life...how many miles on it?
