Transmission Squeek? really?

I'm lost. I'm no expert on tranny's at all but I've never heard of one squeeking. Mine squeeks (worse if I'm accelerating) in all gears, including reverse. Doesnt seem to do it in nuetral. I tracked it to the tranny by jacking up the back tires, turning the driveshaft by hand and following the noise. Its not a continous sound but sounds like everytime something turns it squeeks at a certain point. I flushed the tranny fluid and changed the filter made no difference. I believe its the 4r70. 2000 F150 4x4 Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time.

If you turned the drive shaft and hear it, it's the output shaft seal or U-joint related on the ends of the driveshaft.

If it were the U-joints wouldn't there be some slop in the driveshaft? any advise on how to narrow it down? thanks for the help

Come on Justin, get under there and work on it.
Might try to use some spray lube on the U joints and see it it changes it at all.
All there is is the slip yoke on the trans and it's seal, front U joint and the rear U joint.
Good luck.

I'm gonna try replacing the U joints here in a little while and hopefully that'll take care of it. Thanks
