Actually, now that I have had a look at the one I took out it looks like the front pump is actually accessible from directly behind the torque converter. I don't know what kind of a can of worms that would entail opening but at first glance it looks like it can be done without splitting open the tranny.

If the whining gets any worse or the transmission starts acting funny I may just pull it again(ughhhhhh) and swap them out because whatever problems I had with the last tranny a whining pump wasn't one of them.

Which brings me to my next query:

What must have failed if I had to rev up the engine to almost 3K down to idle and back up again a few times for it to grab?

The fluid was never burned nor did it have any friction material visible in the fluid.

Now that I have it out of the car the torque converter seems really loose inside. It rattles when I shake it.
