Honda Insight 03' CVT noise in Drive/Reverse
My Honda Insight 2003 CVT is making a noise when put in Drive or Reverse (stationary or not- Reverse is much quieter than drive), but not in Neutral or Park. I changed transmission fluid w/honda cvt and engine oil, but noise continues.
Tranny Fluid drain plug had some metal shavings but not alot.
Video of noise below on youtube.

It has made the same noise since I bought it. Previous owner claimed it always made the noise (car has ~100k mi). Does anyone know what it could be?
Mpg is not affected as I got 68mpg on trip down to LA recently
UPDATE 6/21/2012: After replacing the tranny the sound is gone. I will take the transmission apart and update the thread with my findings. I suspect it to be the bearings.
