Whats up guys, so through lots of research and talking with many professional, very reputable transmission guys, i found a problem as to why my tranny is " whining". I drained my transmission oil ( obviously was too late) it came out black and had absolutely no viscosity. SOOO under heavy load over 700hp/tq at peak tq/hp your front end comes up, when that happens the transmission oil ( cooled or not) will transfer enough to where your input and cluster will have no lubrication ( even only for 2 seconds) which causes heat to begin building up. After a while of the same scenario your trans oil will begin to break down and the contact point of the 2 will begin to wear (possible bearing also) after a while you will hear a slight whine, it will get worse, only happening in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th. it wont happen in 4th. the noise will get worse and eventually result in a blown trans. ( catastrophic )
Solution- hook up a pump with a suction from the back of the trans to the front with a nozzle inside that recircs oil onto this point. Running a trans cooler is recommended as well. totaly cost to do this would be $75-$100 for welding/ bung, $150 for pump, $40-$50 in STEEL braided lines/ fittings.

Also, to activate the pump, you can set it up to be on a toggle switch when your about to get on it or perhaps some way tie it in and have it turn on with boost/ throttle position, ill keep an update on how i have it set up when the new trans comes in.
