# 4th and 5th gear make it sound like output shaft or differential bearings. if it were lower gears, it'd be input shaft stuff. nm

: Note I have a '91 5spd in the car.

: The transmission had bad internal bearings as soon as I put it in so my mechanic ripped it apart and replaced all four. Everything was fine after that.

: Now, since this weekend's trip to Mississippi, I get a Wrrr type bearing noise under LOAD in 4th or 5th gear. It happens in all gears, but I notice it most in those two gears at speeds of 60-75 MPH. If I take the car out of gear there is no noise, and if I let off the throttle the noise is not there, or not as apparent. I'm thinking differential bearings but I'm not sure.

: The fluid level is topped off.
: I have no spoken to my mechanic about the noise.

: Looking for personal experience with a similar noise from you guys. Thanks.
