Yea, basically. The trans fluid didnt look too bad. A little darker than I thought it would be for a year old, but not bad. But in the sunlight, you could see a metallic haze to it, nothing granular that you could feel, but just a shimmer in the sunlight...

Like I said, performance is not hindered at all, everything feels great, I just hear a whining under any level of acceleration. It is pretty loud, loud enough I am not gonna drive it anymore till I can figure out what it is so I dont cause any more damage.
