maybe it's a belt or something, possibly a fan belt.

Its also possibly a dented or misaligned inspection cover on the tranny. If the teeth of the flexplate contact the cover, it makes a squeaky metallic scraping noise.

Hey Are the cover's bolts usually accessable from the top of the engine, w/o raising the car way up. |

Nope, but you can get to them laying on your back with the car on jackstands. Take the cover off and start the car. If the noise goes away, that was your problem. Its fine to leave that cover off.
