My 99 z28 has always whined since I've owned it, but only under deceleration. Its very loud at highway speed and gets gradually lower in pitch and loudness as i slow down. I used to think that it was some kind of exhaust noise but noticed that the whine is constant no matter what the RPM. I have no idea what causes the noise; any help is appreciated. Thanks

gears are screwed, if its been that long then probably damaged some more things in there. Might need a total rebuild in which case you might want to look for a good used one or for a 9 or 12bolt

I took a video today at highway speeds that has the sound in it. I coasted from about 70 down to 50ish twice

Sounds like excess backlash due to wear, mine were the same. Get yourself an AAM gear from Jaws, I went 3:73 for a little more pull. I also have a Motive 3:90 for sale but they are not as quiet as the AAM, but pulls nice and not the compromise of the 4:10. Les>>>
