Subject:      Downshifting into 2nd: whining sound

Having problems downshifting into second.  This is a fairly new problem in
the last 2-3 weeks.  It makes a sort of soft whining sound, but will
eventually get there after a few tries.  I topped of the transaxle fluid
(added maybe a cup) this weekend, but no change in the shifting.  The bus
(84 weekender) has 204K on it, but the transaxle was rebuilt by PO. Is this
an indicator of a bad transaxle, or starting to be bad? I am ready to embark
on a 2000+ mile Grad School trip, so I need a peace of mind before I head
out.
thanks
