I Have an AT. The car runs great with the exception of some slightly rough shifting from 1rst to 2nd sometimes. I hope its not the transmission. Suspecting timing belt (the guy i bought the car from said he had it changed not too long ago). The transmission fluid is at normal level, maybe a tad more than max. Smells healthy and is not dark (looks to be a little red/orange color).

-It whines when accelerating and the sound seems to be coming from drivers side (which is why i suspect timing belt)
-Any way to test this?

Maybe slowly rev using the throttle body while in park and try listening for the sound. Just a suggestion, don't know if that'll be any help

That sounds like your alternator is going out... Supercharger like sound is usually a telltale sign.

pop hood, start engine, rev engine (by turning tb), id part.

use stethoscope as needed. CAREFUL OF MAGNETS LIKE ALTERNATORS!

take off belts one at a time, engine off, then start the engine. see if the noise is gone. spin the part by hand see if its bad.
