Hi acazz,

It is difficult for us to tell you what might cause the hissing noise as we are not able to determine the source. Does it happen when revving up ?

When rpm is high but car is not speeding up, it should be the trans not up-shifting or is slipping. Check the ATF level, low level can cause slipping and damages if used over a period of time.
