Looks like your initial question was right. He had this problem for 1-1/2 years.

Whining problem occurred after a transmission drain and fill with the WRONG fluid (pentosin).
Apparently he's been driving the X with this problem and basically just drove it into the ground. One post and no reply, like the investors on Shark Tank for this reason I'm out.
