Ford Focus Transmission Noise after repair

2005 Ford Focus Wagon
63,000 Miles
One night I drove this vehicle without any symptoms of automatic transmission issues. The next day I backed the car out of the drive and put it into Drive. The transmission Thumped as it went into gear. This never happened before. I took it to a local transmission shop the next day and the owner said that I had lost 2nd gear and that possibly some of the bands were broken. I agreed to have the vehicle repaired.
After picking the vehicle up after the repairs were complete I noticed the following;
1 The cold idle speed is much higher that what it was prior to the repair.
2 There is a HI PITCH WHINE in the transmission whenever you back off of the accelerator after you get up to speed.
3 After the vehicle is warmed up, there is a distinct RUMBLE or VIBRATION in the steering wheel when the vehicle is idling.
4 There is a CLICKING noise that appears to be coming from the engine compartment. This is most noticeaible at about 25 to 30 MPH.
After researching automatic transmissions, I have concluded that a properly functioning transmission emits little or no noise. Prior to taking the vehicle back to the shop, I am asking for any input as to what might be causing the symptoms I am experiencing.
Thank You for your time.
