Well I went ahead and topped off the reservoir with ATF. Probably was around 3/4 and now should be full. Only it doesn't seem to have fully fixed things. The whining sounds are pretty much gone, but I still get an obvious shuddering when the system demands pressure. Even while stopped if I turn the wheels with any real effort it seems to struggle. Might need to install the pump after all.
