Micheal,
My 88 900S started with the pinion whine back in November at around 160,000 miles, seemed innocent enough, no shifting problems just noisy. Last week, I lost 5th and the wheels would lock up in reverse, so I'm currently in the process of having the transmission rebuilt. The longer you wait the more it will cost you. If you plan on keeping the car, or if it's in good condition I'd recommend having it rebuilt. Wouldn't go with a used tranny chances are it'll have the same condition. I decided to have mine rebuilt because the car's in excellent shape otherwise, and having it rebuilt will give me piece of mind; I won't have to worry the dreaded whine for a long time hopefully.
Just my $.02
Vince
