A couple of days ago I added some Lucas transmission treatment to my transmission ever since it has made some what of a whining noise as the engine revs even in neutral. I'm not sure if it is my transmission its kind of hard to locate that sound. Any ideas. The transmission shifts great and I highly reccomend that product but the whining has me puzzled. Could I have possibly over filled the transmission? All ideas will be appreciated

What does the dipstick look llike (foam? overfill?)?

It's a good place to start...

it reads just a little full on the dipstick nothing to my concern though. I did this on the same day I used a can of GM top engine cleaner.... I wonder if that could be producing the whining sound

Is it common for over full transmissions to whine?
