i've had exact symptoms turn up here Shane. The whining is almost a whirring sound and the kicker was the smell of hot plastic/ overheating windings when the bonnet was opened...

Well, I haven't got that smell yet

just been looking over mine this morning, waiting for the trans oil temp to raise for a proper level check, horrible ratting/grinding sound around the torque converter area while idling

Well, about 2L of oil to much in the trans. Still faulting on the gear changes. Whine I thought had gone, but once the oil hit 59 deg it returned. When in park and the engine is reved I can here it, with the use of a screwdriver to listen, no noise from the alternator, however I can here the whine from the back of the engine and at the front of the trans. Im not feeling very hopeful of the trans being ok

Torque converter or pump is my guess shane

When I had the transmission oil changed a few months ago, the auto trans place here (Sunshine Coast QLD) advised me that they now have kits available from ZF to refurbish the transmission, I think the cost was around 3.5K complete, so if that's what needs doing then this is a lot cheaper than a complete new box.

HTH,

I had a chat to zf over the phone. Rebuild cost in Sydney was $4250.

That there is, and they send the boxes to Sydney for rebuilds as they apparently don't have the time to do them. Looking like I'm going to have to get the D3 down to perth for it either way
