my thing about the tranny is that it doesnt do it when you are goin down the road but not givin it gas, thats the only thing im wondering about that, and the higher the revs the louder the whine gets too

Default Same issue

I have the same issue. I get a whining noise when the jeep is in gear (d or r). Loudest when I have the brake pressed and subsides when I let off the brake. Noisiest at stop lights. Did you ever figure it out?
