Every one that has a ride in or sees my running says the gear box whine is louder than any mini they have heard before any ideas what it could be? Its a standard 1987 998.

In the video the seat belt is retelling but its the whine if you listen carefully.

Maybe transfer gear bushes on the way out. Did this start recently, and just before that have you driven the car fast for a long distance?

Not as noisy as some, but I plum for idler bearings...

 

Tom2012 - yours is a collapsed double roller... and that'll start becoming a big problem.. especially if it starts locking up at slow speeds in 1st.
