Ok how would i go about doing this... or should i take it to the dealership... anyone know about how much it costs? also how serious is this and will it get worse the faster i drive (because i drive pretty fast) i dont floor it but aroung 2500-3500 its at its loudest... and thats normally where i feather the pedal to force the AT to shift...

It normal and at that RPM thats when my car does it too.....I would say just listen for it to get louder, if it does you need a valve adjustment....don't waste your money at the dealer unless its under warranty.

do a valve adjustment yourself.
it only take a few basic tools and a few hours.

just remeber, do it while the motor is cold.
