Slight gear whine in my 84 240 w/m46. 200

I don't think I'd peel that rubber back to lube that bearing... unless I knew the bearing was dry/failing, and I needed to get a few more miles out of it.

I don't like the idea of lubricant between the outside of the bearing, and the rubber surround. Maybe I'm just being paranoid though.

In any event, that bearing isn't your problem.. if it goes away in neutral, it has to be something that stops spinning in neutral...the driveshaft does not.

what about the clutch.. does it go away, in gear, when you push in the clutch pedal?

In any event... it sounds minor... nothing you want to rebuild the transmission for at this point. Just turn the radio up.

And.. check for a hole in the shifter boot.. that can make all the difference.
