I have the exact same thing happen to my car.  The loud whine in reverse is
due to the reverse overdrive lock out switch/circuit not working and
allowing the overdrive to be "engaged" while in reverse.  You really should
check the circuit and check the lockout switch, probably the lockout switch
needs replacing.  Unfortunately it is on top of the tranny and very hard to
get to with the tranny in the car, although not impossible.  If the
overdrive continues to operate while in reverse you may do damage to the
overdrive clutch.

for the second time in about 6 months or so, i've put it in reverse, let
out the clutch and all i get is a loud whine, no movement.  drive away,
park, turn off the car.  come back in a few minutes, restart the car, and
reverse
works. could this just be low oil level?  i need to check that.

is this something i should be worried about, as in will it strand me
somewhere?  i can deal with occasional no reverse.  these cars are light
<grin>!

thanks!
