I got to drive the car today (finally got it registered). Anyways it let me reaccess the the noise. Apparently it is actually coming from the transmission area closest to the dash, and it sounds like a kind of griding noise. I don't hear it when in park, when in drive and gas is being applied, and when the car is not moving in neutral. I hear it when the car is in neutral while moving and when in drive while no gas is applied. An interesting thing that seems to happen is that if you wiggle the shifter a little, you can make the noise stop. So at this point I am thinking it is a bearing somewhere in the transmission, probably where it makes contact with the engine. I don't know a whole lot about automatic transmissions, but what is in that area in the way of bearings?

Oh, and it is not a constant noise, it does change as speed changes, as long as no gas is applied.
