My son's 1979 Midget 1500 was quiet after restoration, but now has a whine when driving. There are only a few miles on the car since it was restored. There is no noise in reverse, 1st, or 2nd. There is a slight whine in 3rd and a louder whine in 4th. I'm trying to determine if it is the rear or the transmission. The transmission was rebuilt (new bearings, syncros, and gaskets. Nothing was done to the differential. Does anyone have a differential and/or a transmission for sale. The differential ratio does not matter as I am planning on using it to test by substitution. Easier to change the rear than to pull the engine. If it's the transmission I was thinking maybe the rear bearing has gone bad. Thanks for any ideas. Phil
