Default Possible tranny problem?

Hi Everyone

I have a 99 Accord EX-4cyl Vtec Auto with 120K.

The tranny seems to shift well but when the car is in neutrel or park,there is a hollow,somewhat louder noise at the tranny side of engine.Fluid is clean and topped.

Is this a sign the tranny is on the way out?

Thanks
Mark

look for fluid seepage at the axles seals of the differential.
WhenI was an auction buyer I would let the car idle along in gear and verylightly step on and off the gas listening for a differential growl/noise.
