So, I just got my car back from having the 31 spline swap, and no more gear whine.

I decided to do the swap because I had a good 20 degrees of slop in the driveshaft due to the differential. I guess all that slop was causing the whine?

Or it could be they properly setup the gears when they installed the 31's. Just an idea.
