The whine's not from fluid. It's because the transmission took a whack or many. Probably the input shaft bearing. I've told my story a few times here. Was dіcking around with mine and started some wheel hop. Immediately noticed a bit of the telltale whine. Pulled it a few weeks later to prep it for repair, and installed another salvage transmission. Immediately was WAY worse. I said "Fuck it. Let's see how it holds up." That was like five years ago. No change at all. One of these days I'll get around to swapping them again and inspecting the beater transmission.

Unless it's really awful, I wouldn't sweat it. Just be careful about abusing it. They're pretty fragile.
