I have the same problem, but it is because i have a small transmission leak so everytime it goes low it starts to make a winding noise on 5th gear, but when i refill the fluid it goes away.

[autoxes]

no, you actually don't have to drop it to change the fluid.

I'll look in my shop manual, and tell you the CORRECT way to change it. Check back around 12:00AM EST

Should be a drain plug at the bottom of the tranny. Refilling it's a bit harder though. Theres a 20mm Bolt near the front bumper side of the tranny thats used to fill it. Either get a fluid pump or gravity feed it with a rubber hose. Thats how i figured it out at least
