[TR] Transmission whine

[Bill & AnnaBelle]

Really have to differ with this opinion, I just replaced the rear oil 
seal in the Toyota 5 speed in our TR3,  it cost me less  than $20.00 
for a new seal from NAPA,  the  hardest part was removing the drive 
shaft ... there  was no need to replace the bearing ...

I do agree that if the drive shaft is not properly "installed" it 
will damage the oil seal.  And if you allow all the oil to leak out 
... you  have a real problem ...
