Here's the scenario: I filled the transmission with
oil per the instructions (5 quarts before starting,
then start and add 4 more for a total of 9).  Before
moving or starting the car I adjusted the auto shift
linkage by disconnecting it at the transmission,
pushing in "L" button, and then back under the car I
moved the lever all the way to the back position and
reconnected it.  I then started the car and drove it
by backing up about 20 feet out of the garage.  It
seems to shift right into reverse, then into D1 when I
pulle back in.  It moved back and forth without any
real shuddering.  But the transmission whines whether
the car is in gear or not.
----------------------------------
Well, if it were my car, I would try to drive it and
check the the upshifts and downshifts are normal and
not jerky and that the transmission is not slipping in
any gear.  If all of that is normal, I would continue
to drive it for a while and see if the noise remains
the same.  If shifting is abnormal and/or there is
noticeable slippage, there is a several page
diagnostic guide in the TSM, which may help. 
Unfortunately the 62 TSM doesn not mention unusual
noises in the troubleshooting guide.
