I know my buddys Eclipse would grind a bit between 1 and 2. bled the clutch and it went away. the door light can be solved by pulling the door switches and unplugging them. Couldn't tell you about the engine whine. Sounds more to me like its low on gear oil almost.

gear longevity or top speed between gears? longevity is depending on use. top speed between gears is really an unknown on my end since every car is different.
