Pinion Bearing on '85 SPG?

Hey guys, first time poster/Saaber here. I bought an '85 SPG a couple of weeks ago, after messing up my baby, a bright orange customized '87 Pontiac Fiero GT. Anyway, I figured Saab would be the way to go for a good daily driver that I could actually fix myself, since a good friends of the family own seven of them, and have always had good luck with them.
I have driven at least 4 different classic 900's, and they have all seemed to have what you guys describe as a pinion bearing whine. However, with my car, the whine is more pronounced in first and second gear, and almost not audible in 4th/5th gear. Does this still sound like a pinion bearing? I know for sure that the clutch is getting close to being done, as it slips at high boost. Could this maybe be part of the clutch, such as the T/O bearing? And what do you guys think of the Saabpartsdirect.com "house" clutch kit?
TIA! It's nice to have another cult car; the web is just so alive with enthusiasts!
