Continue to ignore me and I will trash the > transmission!' On my old 900 (84 i think), the gearbox whines quite a lot. Needs a new bearing so im told. That depends on engine speed (its a lot worse/noticable in 5th too). Are you positive its engine noise and not gearbox/transmission instead as KiethG says?. Mines only done 150k miles and its pretty worn. Yours should also be pretty worn at 214k miles! I bought some additive to put in the gearbox of the old 99 i had before this, and that made it a lot quiter. Was really cheap too..
