If you are having problems with shifting and hesitation going into gear, I would definately change the filter and fluid. Does the squeek stop or get worse when you put it in reverse? If so I would have a trans specialist take a look at it. Most problems with hesitation and shifting are due to a pluged filter though. The plugged filter won't allow fluid back to the pump soon enough to make a quick responce. Trans fluid and filter should be changed every 30,000 miles regardless of what the manufacture specs call for. If your car has not had this done at all, and with 170+k miles,there could definately be damage to the internal pump in the Torque Converter, which would explain the squeeking at running temp. Hope this helps.Edited by: answerman
