    Hearing uncommon noise that I believe is coming from 4EAT when in Drive only on my '04 Forester XT, 108K. Tried reverse after startup and noise did not happen and moved steering wheel thinking it could be steering pump. Sound is similar to oil being pushed thru small orifice which goes away after warm up. Changed trans. fluid using Subaru HP ATF and did not change filter about 1K miles ago. Who is a good transmission expert? Have used TSI-Richfield in the past while looking for other options.
