Yes, 4 wheel anti-lock disc brakes. Pedal is firm and doesn’t sink when the engine is off. Bled the brakes until clean fluid and no air bubbles came out and it still has low pedal.
Yes, the front and rear calipers on this vehicle are interchangable on either side.
As far as I can tell there are no leaks in the system, the bleeder valve is in the same place as the old caliper so it went on in the proper position.
My best guess at this point is the master cylinder is bad, but I don’t have a scan tool to cycle the ABS system to completely remove all the old fluid out of the system.

Whirring noise came back, caved in and bought a $60 AC Delco filter direct from the dealership and another 7 qrts of fluid. This one actually says 4T65E on it instead of 4T60E. Popped the OEM filter into place, added more fluid and the whine is all but gone, and the vehicle is shifting smoother.
I’m going to check both the outside and INSIDE of both filters and if I find any discrepancies I’m going to protest for a refund for the first filter and the 7 1/2 quarts of fluid I wasted the first time around.

After I posted the last message I found that the transmission fluid had settled overnight and after a short drive I added 1.5 more quarts of fluid which matches the owner and service manual for 7.4 quarts after dropping the pan and filter. I got to class and after parking I checked for the 1st and 2nd gear whine, which I did not hear. The fluid level is now even with the max mark on the stick and there are no bubbles in the fluid.
Hopefully this fixes it.
Going to be adding seafoam to the oil before I leave for an appointment. I didn’t change the oil the other day anticipating the tick noise coming back, and it did.

Looks like I’ll be dropping the pan again. Some folks online are saying the whining noise is caused by fluid cavitation which is caused by air pockets in the fluid. Tends to happen with aftermarket filters and o rings.

Just finished her up. Managed to grab the plastic neck and wriggle it enough to break the seal. I also picked up a pack of hooked hand tools which I inserted into the neck and pulled it out from the inside. The pan had a nice film on clutch dust on it and the magnet was covered in a trans fluid/clutch dust sludge. The service manual and the owners manual say a drop and fill should remove 7.4qts. I put six in, shifted through all of the gears and it still read full. Drove it a couple miles, shifted through gears again and its still reading full. 1st gear makes a whining noise if I manually select it. The same can be heard in second but to a lesser extent.
I’ll check it again in the morning to make sure it’s full. Thanks for the advice!!

Fuckin great, I broke the tranny filter neck off inside the transmission. It’s hanging out about 3/4 – 1 inch and tried a flat bladed screwdriver, but it won’t fit between the neck and transmission and I’m not trying to damage the aluminum.
What’s the best way to remove this?
