Default Downshift whine after transmission service

Hi Guys,
I took my ISF to get the Transmission filter change and oil top up, after the service i noticed that when the car shifts down it whines, the dealer says this noise is not related to the fluid change as i took the car straight back again to recheck the level, does anyone else have noise like this ? please see video with whine sound after the click from the paddle shift, i have a meeting tomorrow with the shop foreman but during the phone call today they claim something is wrong inside the transmission
car has 193k KM just under 120k Miles, driven almost 30k KM in the last year without any whining noises
TIA

Maybe they overfill it. I can't hear anything because the download won't open

The transmission oil pump at the front of the gearbox whines more when the level is too low. AMHIK.

If you took it back and they checked it hot then it wasn't done properly.

The service manual specifies the fluid temp should be between 95F-108F (35-42C) for proper fluid level check/adjustment. That means typically the car needs to sit at least overnight for the fluid to dissipate all the heat. It's always easier to do in the winter time since the fluid takes longer to heat up thus giving you more time to work

I took it back on the saturday morning (picked up on friday) and they looked at it yesterday, they said they checked the oil level again and the noise was slightly better but then they said the noise is not related to the oil service but to some damaged part inside the transmission, but the car never had any noises before, im waiting for a call from the shop manager today

The transmission pan drain, pan clean and filter change was something that I really loved doing at home as I knew that the car was cooled down over night and then level set properly.....sorry you are having challenges with this

If they checked it hot, then the level is way too low. The procedure is not simple because the temperature restrictions mean you have to work from cold and work quickly. You'd honestly be best off overfilling by a liter and then setting the level and sacrificing most of it to be sure you have the right amount at the correct temperature.

It’s absurd stuff like this that keeps me working on my own cars. Lexus should know how to do this.
