low budget bracket racing blues

am i cooking the fluid coasting in with the engine shut down? No.
should i run whiney with new fluid/filter til she comes unglued? New fluid might kill it. (new detergent on old clutches)Usually whining in gear but not moving is the pump or converter.
If it has worn planetary gears it will whine when moving.
has ol whiney given up its ghost?
Not yet, but I would'nt want to blow a sprag while racing.
Might take a leg with it.
does the stupid et's but consistent mph and 60ft's even sound like a trans problem?
input please!!
Keep in mind that it whines, which could be the pump.
If it is indeed the pump, the pressures are low causing some slipping and thereby causing the slight burned smell.
This is theoretical from what you posted of course, but none the less it could be the chain of events that are causing your times to be erratic. (Slipping a bit on the hard accels and therefor erratic times)
