    From where you said the sound is coming from its most likely the trans pump, your trans filter might be plugged so buy a new filter and ~8 quarts of trans fluid and do a pan drop and replace the filter and fluid if the sound goes away then problem fixed.

    just FYI your car/van does not have the 3.4DOHC it has a 3400 ohv. these are very different engines. your engine is more related to the 3100.
