Well now that my car has gears I notice a definite whine. However i think it is related to the O/D in the trans as it changed significantly btween 4th and 5th gear at the same speed (100+ mph indicated, went from 2.73 to 3.73 so that is about 75+ mph actual).

The rear seal (around the D/S) is leaking anyway so is it a simple R&R to change out the rear bearing in the trans at the same time. They seem to be cheap enough.

Is this something I can do from the same tail end of the transmission when I am changing the seal?

in order to change the rear output bearing the whole tranny needs to be removed, the seal does not. its a pressed fit bearing in there. Only kno because some ******* put a earlier t5 in mine and didn't get a driveshaft spacer or make a decent mount so the d/s wore it out. lookin at 450-600 or just 800 for a rebuilt t5 installed

If it's just the seal leaking ..... you just drop the D/S and put a new one in there. I've done it several times. It's easy. If you have a rear bearing problem .... well honestly I know nothing about that ... but yeah, I'd imagine the tranny has to be dropped.

Have you made sure to check the slip yoke for taper?
