I got to drive my car around for the first time today. I have a really loud whine from the transmission when in 3rd gear and under power. As soon as I let off power it stops whinning. It only does it in 3rd gear. What do you guys thing this would be? bearing? syncro? I'm definately not a transmission guy. I guess this would be a good time to switch to side shifter?

Thanks guys. I have never run this trans low on oil. Its full of mobil 1 right now. It did sit up for about 6 years and the gear oil had turned into grease.
I guess my next question is how hard is it to get to this bearing? Do you guys think its worth repairing this tailshifter trans? I have redone the shift linkage completely. So although a bit rough at times I can get all the gears. John |
