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.
