Trans help please!
 

2005 MPV. Wife is in missouri with the van and I am in Texas. She said it started making a whining noise and ticking from the drivers front. My daughter says it sounds like a motorcycle. She checked the tranny fluid PROPERLY and there was nothing on the dipstick. She said it is shifting fine and not acting weird. Only makes the weird noise when in drive and moving. They added a couple quarts and can now see fluid on the bottom of the dipstick. I just had the tranny replaced about 6 months ago. Anyone have any input? I’m open to any and all ideas. Thanks!
