Is this just another typical F-body squeak/rattle or something to look into? Thanks! 02 Z28 A4 65K BTW just changed trans fluid and filter.....

does it make a "creak creak creak", in that succession, when you add throttle in reverse?

Not really, does it more when it's cold and has higher idle speed............

I would suspect the suspension bushings as the culprit. Everything moves when you switch from a forward gear to reverse as the torque is being applied in the opposite direction.

looks like my post got eaten up...

it it's creaking when you put it in gear it could be a solenoid... if it's creaking when you're backing up i'd look at suspension...
