    I have noticed that when shifting from reverse into drive the transmission can take 2-3 seconds to actually "shift" into the drive gear and have the gas pedal move car forward. During the 2-3 seconds, pressing the gas does nothing but rev/increase the rpm in the engine. If you do press the gas and the "shift" takes place it will jerk the vehicle forward a bit.

    Vehicle has whistle or whining noise on acceleration at 55-70 mph.

As stated above the vehicle now whines/whistles at 55-70 mph. Apparently replacing the transmission did not resolve the issue.
