Here is an update on my service experience (see below for results). Initially I was happy that they actually found things that were wrong and replaced them. They had the car a week, probably because they took the whole transmission apart. Upon returning to my car, I found that several problems still existed. The "whirring¨ noise is still there, and what is worse, the thing is running like crap now. Feels like it is missing or something. You can hear it when parked and revving the engine, and can feel it under hard acceleration. Hope it isn't f'ed up too bad. Took it back in today. Will report back.
