Default A buddy of mine just bought a whiny '84 Z HO, UH OH!

It's a really well maintained, almost untouched 'survivor'. 75k, 305 HO 5 speed, black, tan cheapie cloth. No winters, a few little dents, blah, blah, blah.
So anyways, he pulls away, and the trans whines in 1st and 2nd. What's bad in the tranny?
Will post pix when I get back from Memorial Day road trip to Rhode Island.
BTW, I'm not a Camaro owner, but a TRUCK fan. Older straight axle Subs and PU's. Diesel now, veggie oil soon...

Sounds like good old gear whine, and I wouldn't be too concerned. Just make sure there is enough of the right lube in the box.

Nope, sorry... This guy needs his head, oops, I mean bearings, examined. Way too loud for "usual gear noise".
Coming soon, my own webpage were you can here and see my stupid videos... Wait 4 it!
And then I showed him eBay, couple Z's just like his, but nicer, not too far away, same price he just paid, and no whine, except him...

Here's one, wish I had taken a pix of his "prize"...
