Whats going on people!

Quick intro:
I'm a newbie here on the forum and to the mustang world. I used to be passionate about import cars since I owned a 01 eclipse:

but I sold it, and bought my 'stang for 7k (salvage that is )! so now I'm all muscle!
All I can say is there's a heck of a difference in every aspect! love my stang!

Help a newbie out?
...but... i''ve got a problem with my car.... y'all have great info in here so let's see if y'all can help me out! My cars got a problem and i'm lost on it...
Symptoms:
1. When the car is cold and I turn it on, if i put my car on reverse it makes a whining sound like of someone was saying "eeeeee" in a high pitch voice. It rarely does that noise when its warm
2. When I'm driving (especially in high speeds) and I come to a complete stop by braking suddenly making my car nose dive, it seems like if my cars transmission pops out of place. Once I stop and try to accelerate, my engine just revs up a little bit and then it pops into gear and accelerates abruptly. This only happens when I make a complete stop in a short distance by braking really hard.

*note: In my first oil change, I once mistakenly drained all of the transmission fluid thinking it was the oil... and drove my car dry like that to the mechanic. (short distance). I know... stupid
Also my car's salvage and it seems it had a front collision



I hate to admit it but I am a 19yr old with really, really basic knowledge on fixing cars. And I would like to learn a lot more since I have a passion for them!
thanks for taking the time to read my post and helping me out!

Sounds like an auto trans issue... low fluid or internal problem. Why did you drive the car with no fluid? You should hav had it towed

ya u prob did something to the trans running it with no fluid.

The nose diving down under hard braking is normal its just weight/momentum transfering cuz ur slamming on the break.

The winning sound is normal just your trans i believe and the gears whinning when ur drivin backwards.
