-Additional Details
I was driving 55-65 MPH constant for about 35 miles on freeway.
This is not my habit driving. I usually vary the speed from 65-80. This time I
go really slow and barely touch the pedal. After that constant speed, I ran
slowly from 1st to fourth gear until about 40 MPH.
Suddenly I downshift to
2nd gear, floored the gas until the SMG red Shift light come out, shift to 3rd
until about 80 MPH. Then I Slowed down, well on the fifth gear my car start
making weird noise. That was when the problem started. The sound got worse.
