Default wierd problem

ok well im posting this for a friend. He gots a 99 z28 he says that when he is cruising on 5th gear its normal but if he steps on the trottle kind of hard the car will rev up like its not on gear but then it just gets the gear and its fine. He had is tranny rebuild like a month ago.His rear end is whining could that be the problem?

sometimes the mechanic isnt always out to screw you by sayin that you need parts when you really dont, sometimes you do, either way this would be a good time to upgrade!
