Today I heard an oscillating high-pitched whine while driving. It varied with speed. I'm thinking rear wheel bearings - any thoughts?

If that's probably it, I'll pull them apart tomorrow and repack them. Any tips or tricks for that project?

No, I haven't. I was planning on doing that with the oil change tomorrow.

Gearbox failure. That's a scary thought. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

The sound comes and goes. The pitch of the sound changes with speed, not with RPMs. It doesn't change when I push down on the clutch.

I checked mine at Gint's place and it was a quart low! My box was clean so It has been low for a long time! It's ok though.


I had a great time meeting you and Pam at lunch. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) I hope the car is ok.
