As far as I know, A Goodyear "Gator Back" refers to a serpentine belt. And yes, if you replace your existing belt with a Gatorback, It could quite possibly get rid of your squeal.

The squeal you are hearing on the upshifts is coming from the serpentine belt that runs your accesories.(alternator, etc.)
There is NO belt involved in the transmission. Yes, it can sound like it is coming from the tranny, but it is not, it is the belt I previously mentioned. Go get yourself a Goodyear Gatorback and the squeal will go bye-bye...
