Whining gear box on 72 99.........when will it explode?

For the last couple of months the frist and second gears on my 1972 99 have been making a whining sound. It initially started as a quite whine but has progressively become louder (as if I have a noisy supercharger!) it is also starting to whine now in third but only occasionally and it is still quite quiet in third. The car still drives and changes gears really well.
My mechanic is not sure what it is but suggests that it might be bearings.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what it is, and what the end result of the whining will be? (exploded gearbox, siezed, losing 1st and 2nd gears and so on)I am planning a country driving trip in three weeks and I am not too keen on being stranded with an exploded gearbox.
Thanks
Justin
1972 99 two door.
ps I think it is the original gear drive 4spd gear box as opposed to the chain drive 4spd..........how can I tell?
