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?

Advice I'd offer on first-time trans rebuilding is to not only keep things clean, but keep things organized and labelled. Unlike an engine, there are a lot of similar looking parts in a gearbox that aren't interchangeable. Again, this isn't difficult. Using a sheet of heavy paper or cardboard as your working surface, just lay the parts out in order of disassembly, writing their identity on the paper/cardboard as you go. If there's a chance (as there nearly always is in DIY rebuilding) that there will be a significant span of time between disassembly and reassembly, use tags and label the bits that way.
