gear whine and front motor mount - connection?

Hi there. This is my first time posting here so please forgive any faux pas I might make. I recently purchased an '88 SPG (listed here on SAABnet) with 75,000 original miles! I have always loved the SPG model and this was a great find. I have a very knowledgable and thorough indy mechanic who has gone through the car and has replaced a few things so far.
He has determined that the car needs a new front motor mount and that is being replaced next week. In getting used to the car I have noticed a prominent gear-type whine mainly in 5th gear that fluctuates with throttle position and not road speed. It is also sometimes difficult to engage 5th gear. In searching the board it seems the problem might be coming from the pinion bearing/s.
I am wondering whether replacing the front motor mount might resolve the noise if it is pinion bearings?
Thanks for any input.
David H.
