I have a 2010 Subaru legacy. Recently I’m noticing a mouse squeak when my gears change it’s not every time but it’s becoming more frequent. It seems that it does not make the squeak when I shift manually the gears. My question is is my transmission going out or is this some sort of belt issue. It sounds like a belt would make a noise like what I’m hearing.  Any help appreciated 

how old is the belt, how's it look, etc.

I’m guessing it’s an auto. Could be a loose exhaust hanger bolt, broken engine or gearbox mount or a heat shroud that’s rubbing on something it shouldn’t be. 

Keep an ear out for it developing further and see if you can get a general location that it seems to be coming from

U joints on propeller shaft starting to go?

First off.  Thanks for advice.  I do appreciate it.  I’m a novice but the belts do seem to be fine.

 

I’ll keep an ear on it and let folks know if I have any new information.  Curious if it was the belt I’m hearing about a belt conditioner product? Would that be worth a try? 

Just put a bit of soapy water on the belts to make them quiet, or just rub a bar of soap on the belts, it’ll work it’s way around so don’t be stressed about having too much or not enough, can always add more if needed. 

Cheers
