Whining is because the gears aren't meshing properly. This will result =

the diff and / or otherwise destroy it. Sometimes the noise can be from =
something really dumb, like the ring gear bolts backing out and you find =
out when one of the bolts wedge in the diff case with the resulting =
damage to everything. Not that I've done that or anything.
And keep in mind that scrap steel prices are "fairly low".

Hi All.
I am hearing some whining going on behind me when driving my 68 GT6..
It is only at neutral acceleration/deceleration and above 40 MPH ( =
There is no whine when accelerating or decelerating). Stock 3.27:1 =
rear end.
Any thoughts =
?
Thanks Pat
