on my way home from school today i i started to hear a whining in my 5 speed transmission. it only occurs in 3,4 and im not to sure about 5th. when i got home i wanted to see if it also had problems with reverse. when i moved my shifter to the right i felt a grind and it was literally stuck there. i could shift to 5th/R without a problem and didnt hear the noise in reverse in reverse either. im thinking my 3/4 syncro is going out but if that was the case then why am i having the problems with 5th/R? first thing in the morning ill check the tranny fluid but any incite would be helpful. t
 
im pretty sure im just going to ship my trans off and get it rebuilt. Im thinking of going with dogbox racing but im not entirely sure. i already have a lsd so im thinking whatever company i go with, i shouldn't need anymore than there stage one. Any suggestions?
 
NJ resident, less then an hour away from dogbox racing. They do awesome work!

The 1-5 use helical gears which are designed to not make noise while rpms increase. Reverse is a spear gears, thats why it whine when the rpms increase.

You are stating that you do not hear a whining in reverse. Is that because it is a different type of whining then our reverse gears produce?
