Update
I removed the drive shaft. The U joints are a little notchy, but not loose. Center bearing seems fine.
After more testing with the drive shaft removed, I have to conclude it is missing 2nd gear when in drive. Going right from 1 to 3 and 3rd is where the whine kicks in. I say kicks because it doesn't start right away, rather several seconds after it moves into 3. Whine continues in 4th, but is somewhat diminished. I did use the manul shift mode to assist with the testing.
Reading posts to this forum, I'm happy to find that skipping from 1st to 3rd is common, a symptom of a loose brake band. I think I can adjust it, but expect it will not effect the whine.
I'll report back when done.
