Whine from drivetrain somewhere, ideas? 140-160 1974

posted by  someone claiming to be Kåre on  Sun Feb 26 13:52 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I've been out driving my 74 144 for the last two days. It has a noticeable whine from somewhere in the drivetrain. What I can tell is that it's louder on flat road than shallow downhills and it disappears if I press the clutch pedal. I would like to say it's coming from the rear differential, but am not 100% positive. It definitely sounds like it's coming from the rear of the car, so I would rate the transmission itself as unlikely, but not impossible. Shifting in and out of gear also is relatively effortless. Should add that there is no vibration associated with this whine. Any ideas? Would it make sense to check diff oil level and refill if needed? If this is found to be the culprit, are there any snake oil products out there that can be added to the oil to quiet it down? I do not know the age or condition of the rear wheel bearings and I guess that could be another source.

Thanks,

Kåre
