For starters.. it's an LSD GSR Tranny. I don't really drive my car often, but I recently notice a very faint whining type noise at some speeds.. per say 2nd gear.. barely on the throttle i hear it a little.. 5th gear barely accelerating I hear it.. when I let off the gas I do not hear it..

Also when downshifting, let' say to 2nd gear for a turn.. I hear it also.

The transmission doesn't have many miles on it at all and I've always used pennzoil synchromesh or GM synchromesh.

Any input is greatly appreciated

My trans did the same thing. Mine was in increments though: 30mph in 3rd, 40mph in 4th and 50mph in 5th. It started getting on my nerves. I just recently tore my trans apart and replaced all the bearings in it except for the countershaft bearing on the clutch housing side. I did notice that the old bearing on the LSD had tons of play in it. Whenever I get it back together, I will let you know if it fixed it or not.

I hope I don't haft to do the same, but thank you for your reply..

If it is a bearing issue, would I be able to drain fluid and visually check to see if one is starting to come apart?

Maybe if there are shavings in the fluid. But majority of the bearings aren't in a spot where they can be visually checked unless the trans is dropped.
