Whine is very loud and at low speeds you can feel it transmitted throughout the car. I stopped driving the car as soon as the whine got bad. I do drive it once a week just so it does not sit. I plan on this spring pulling the tranny and taking it from there. Dont think I will open the tranny up myself and I plan on calling Erikkson on Mon to see if they would be willing to replace just the bearings. I was very close to getting rid of the car and getting a 9-5 but just cant part with the 9000. Car has been one of the best cars I have ever owned. Car has been 100 percent reliable.
I think your from VT DickT right? Car and myself spent 3 years in Burlington and with some Nokia Hakka 2's this was the best car I ever drove in snow. I drove 20 miles home in the Valentines day storm in feet of snow with no issues.
