Transmission Squeak

Well I took the car to the dealer the other day for a squeak the transmission has and the technician told me that it was something normal with these cars taht the bushings or bearings or something like that sound, and that even if he changes them they will sound. (sorry for the noobness)

I was reading another post and someone said that this was completely normal. Is that so? Please let me know because if its not something normal then I should go complain at the dealer.

Just for info my car is brand new only 2 months out of the dealer with less than 4k miles.

thanks in advance

If it's the "throwout bearing noise" everyone hear then it seems to b normal....hence if it's noisy when in neutral with clutch pedal out and sound goes away when clutch is pressed in? that is a normal sound with these cars...everyone seems to hear that...

More Info

Why do you think the squeak is coming from the transmission?
It’s unclear how you came to this conclusion.

well the sound comes from there so im assuming its from the transmission and when I grab a hold of the shifter it doesnt do it as much.
