How hard is it to take apart the trans, and inspect. or even do an entire trans swap since i found a 98' trans with 50k miles for around 400 dollars. labour is the only thing im worried about.
also where is the fill hole for the transmission, i might try seeing if it just needs more lube. is it the bolt with square 1/4" socket facing the front of the car? or is there annother place were i can see how much fluid i got in the trans and fill from there?
because at other sites, the whine sound they say might be associated with low fluid. but i dont have any leaks around the gaskets or seals.

Hi, I read the FSM and it says the fluid level is checked by removing the Speedometer pinion (this is from the 96 FSM posted as a sticky) and the level should be 2.24 to 2.6 inches below the opening at the outside edge. See picture if this is not clear. MA-25 This is for the GA 1.6
If there is anything wrong with your gearbox it will cost lots more than the 400, and you can change it yourself. So thats the way I would go. I am amazed that you have to check the level like this. I bet my 97 has never been checked. The square plug BTW looks like the drain plug.
