T45 Transmission noise......
I have a 99 GT 5sp, 88,000 miles on the clock, and the stock T45 transmission. Just in the last week the transmission has develped a constant gear-meshing or whining noise that seems to be coming from the transmission. It is speed-dependent - the pitch gets higher the faster the car is going, the noise goes away for the most part when the clutch is pushed in while moving (slowing down for a stoplight). If i'm shifting through the gears, the noise is there while in gear (any gear, even reverse), when I shift it into neutral the noise goes away, and when I shift it into the next or previous gear the noise gets louder even as i'm putting it in gear. And, the noise is in every gear!
I was thinking it might be an input or output shaft bearing or something not gear related. The car shifts fine, no grinds or anythng in any gear, so i'm thinking it's not any particular gear or gears. It's not the fluid level either, as I just had the fluid drained and filled a couple of weeks ago with Mobil 1 ATF. Anyone have any ideas?
