stvbreal -
I found my trans problem when I noticed a whine while decelerating through 3000 rpm. It only did it when the car was well warmed up - about 30 minutes of driving. It hasn't seen over 5k - never broken in - now i'm afraid it's fragile.

I'm still trying to figure out if the noise I am hearing is the same as what you guys are hearing. Mine just sounds more like a high RPM grinding noise, no whinning or whizzing, I think. Damnit ! ! I'm gonna get some audio after work and let you guys hear it if that's cool with ya'll.

Thats fine but the easiest way to tell is take it to the dealer to inspect the trans oil....he will put a magnet in the hole and presto....you will be able to visibly see you have a problem
