If you got that much water in it, I would recommend another change after
warming up the transmission real well. I am betting on cover plate for
the noise though. Maybe SnoMan has some more ideas...

Re: Jeep in water - now transmission will not work
 

The advice someone else gave isnt too late to use. I'd drain and refill the
system before going further. Its gonna take at least one flush to get
everything out of there....
Might wanna think about adding tubes to those breather holes and rout them up
into someplace high. I drilled a hole through my pan, and ran them up inside
my rollbar to the top. Nice N High and outa sight.

Re: Jeep in water - now transmission will not work
 

The strange rubbing noise should be the through-out bearing. Mud water must
have entered the races, and you should replace it.
Even if it quiets down after a while, it will wear out prematurely and if it
fails it can cause much greater damage.

I wouldn't worry about rust formation inside the transmission. The oil
protects all parts inside, even if it is contaminated with water and has
become to a white foam. The only thing that could happen with water
contamination, is corrosion of the aluminum case, and that usually happens
with salt water or if water has been inside the tranny for a long time.
