Aisin Automatic Transmission Noise

Aisin Automatic Transmission Noise
We have a family R57 with the 6-speed Aisin auto, and its been sitting in our barn for a while with only a few drives here and there. When I drove it today I noticed that it was making a lot of transmission whine while driving. Also, it seemed as though the torque converter was not locking up as when i pressed the gas, revs would rise maybe 500 RPM without anymore vehicle acceleration. I have no idea what would be causing this? Maybe low fluid level? Any thoughts are helpful.

How many miles on the car?
What is its maintenance history w.r.t. tranny?
It sounds like the torque converter may be slipping, or the fluid level is low - any signs of leaks? Or the barn critters have had a feast on the transmission wiring ...

The car normally has to get up to temperature before locking up the torque converter. depending on how cold it is, this can happen within a mile or up to 3 or 4 miles (in my experience at 10F or so).
Changing the fluid can't hurt. since it hasn't been done yet, I would recommend dropping the pan and changing the filter/screen. This will drain more fluid and allow you to clean out any junk from the pan.
