yeah, I understand what you say ... but isn't it likely to be a bearing rather than gear whine? or is it possible for one of the gears to be deteriorating and causing the whine instead of the bearing? If it's a bearing instead of a gear failure, then if the bearing siezes or, more likely, disintegrates presumably there'd be a hell of a noise and at somepoint something would break catastrophically, or it'd seize???? Really, if I'm doing 80mph I'd like it to lose drive instead of freeze!!! Gary
