The tranny for the 08+ are from the lgt and have straighter cut gears for 1st and 2nd gear to make them tougher but they whine more.

Go on youtube and search for 08+ wrx 0-60. Check out the vids on how the trannies whine in the videos

Its all normal
These two posts. The whine in first and second is pretty loud on the 2008+ cars. It kind of sounds like a supercharger. In fact, that was the first thing one of my friends said the first time he rode in my car, "Your car sounds like it's supercharged." I would tell them not to tear down the transmission, take a video and post it here. We'll tell you in two seconds if it's normal or not.
