whining noise
alirght, if you've read my other thread, i've decided to keep my car. now, it's time to figure out what may be going on with it. i'm gonna take it to a mechanic soon, but i'd like to know what i may be looking at before i take it. when it's in neutral, there's a small grinding noise when the clutch isn't pressed. when i press the clutch whilein neutral, i hear a small whining noise that goes down in pitch and then the grinding stops. i assume this is the throwout bearing? it also whines while in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gear, not 4th. another thing is that the gear shifter vibrates alot, especially in 3rd, and mostly in third it bobs up and down a little bit, only at a certain rpm. i've been told that my carrier bearing in the driveshaft is bad. when it vibrates i hear a noise in the rear end, could it just be the driveshaft making that noise? also, the pinion seal is bad, and the first time i checked the rear end oil, it was practically empty. it doesn't leak now, but i think the damage was already done. this was nearly 5 months ago when i found out about the pinion seal, and i keep an eye on it.
that's not everything, but those are the most important things for right now. sorry for the long msg.

RE: whining noise
i dont hear a whining fromt the rear, it comes straight from around the shifter. but the rear end does make a vibrating noise. when i had the exhaust put on it, it started doing it, i assumed it was something with the way they put the exhaust on. if the car is idling in neutral, and you have rear end problems, then the rear end wouldn't make any noise seeing as it's not being used while parked. am i right? because i hear the same vibrating sound when i'm parked sometimes.
