Orig 914/6 transaxle was howling on acceleration. It was most noticable on light acceleration and around 2500-3000RPM. Oil level was full.

I removed the trans during the resto, and I'm converting to side-shift. Looking inside, I don't see any noticeable Ring & Pinion wear, but I could be overlooking something. Carrier Bearings look slightly dull in the race, but not pitted.

I don't see any adjustment for the Ring & Pinion except for the shim under the 1st Gear Set. I also noticed that there were 3 paper gaskets between the Intermediate Plate and the Main Housing; does anyone know if that could cause a Howling Noise?

My questions are:
1. Does howling on acceleration mean Ring & Pinion noise?
2. Can the Ring & Pinion be adjusted?
3. Why would someone use 3 paper gaskets?
4. What would noisy Ring & Pinion wear look like?

Any advise will be apreciated.
