Re: I hate unknown noises...
Sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and pay the cost.
Sometimes, even just doing a diagnosis costs money.
A litre of oil or so is a cheap way to be confident that you're fixing the right thing.
Drain the oil into a clean container and check if the sump plug is magnetized. See what you find.
If there is nothing but dust then you should be right.
If there are shards of metal then it may or may not be the tranny making the noise.
If you find chunks... probably best to remedy that and see if the noise stops.

Reason: P.S. the tranny needs to be running when you check it's fluid level.
