Default Auto box whine

This is my first post, so please bear with me! I've just stripped and cleaned the valve assembly on my auto box, mainly to check it was clean, no problems (I had a book). I have also replaced the cracked reverse piston as the box was slipping in 3rd to 4th change. The box now changes smoothly and positively through the range. However there is a whine when accelerating through the lower gears only. The thrust bearings were all in good condition and as far as I can tell it is assembled correctly. There was no whine previously. the car has done 60k. The fluid level is correct, with new Carlube. Anyone any ideas please?

Carlube?
Not heard of that being used before. The oil grade required is very specific. There will be more knowledgable folk along soon with the required grades.

the oil specified is very specific, the oil that can be used is not.
I have run my gearboxes on Dexron without problems for years.

After all this is the same box manufacturer as the one supplying numerous other cars, and Mazda and Nissans with Auto boxes.

Could be differential or box. If relating to car speed, irrespective of gear - diff, if related to revs of the engine - gearbox itself.

I would guess something wrongly assembled or touching, provided the filling is correct.

It's not the diff as its not road speed related, only occurs on acceleration in 1,2,3, gears.

my guess is something is not seating quite right and is causing tightness somewhere. Do these things have shims and such like.

If it didn't whine before that it has to be connected to something you have done during the service.

Could it be that now you have replaced that cracked piston the thrust bearings are under a higher loading and generating the noise you are now hearing ??
