Pinion bearings and whirring/slapping noise 87 900s

I have an 87 Saab 900Sthat I love but will be replacing soon. It has 271K and I noticed a few things. I've read about thepinion bearings etc and decided that except for a used tranny--it's not worththerebuild. What I want to know is this:
When the clutch is depressed all is quiet except for themotor.
When I release (engage) the clutch I hearthe car tranny whirring and I also hear what appears to be some slapping (the chains in the drive ?)---The dealer says the chains rarely go bad--but I believe they stretch.
Known issues:
2nd gear is hard to get into when downshifting (not upshifting)--tranny getting noisy--andif you let the car idle in 1st gear or 2nd--you can feel what i assume to be chain slop. Car is fine to drive, but I'm getting worried.
It's a 5 speed by the wayand I do maintain it--though I didn't buy it new. Previous owners maintained it well also--but this is New Jersey--always in a constant state ofcity driving.
Any ideas or if I'm right?
thanks so much.
