about how long a transmission would last without oil. It was mostly hypothetical. TZ, I think you're going to need a replacement transmission in the near future. Who knows, you may be able to drive it for a long time with the whine under load. Or, a gear tooth may drop somewhere inside the box and then things will disintegrate rapidly, maybe stranding you. I would want another transmission rather than expecting to rebuild this one.
Most importantly, have you begun the talks/negotiation with shop at fault? 167K seems kind of low mileage for these cars, that's too bad.
Good luck, I'd start lining up transmission replacement options.
