This is the worst gear whine I've ever heard. You'll go deaf in this car, but have fun doing so.

Mine's about that bad, and ls1speed pulled the cover last summer and told me they were in perfect condition .

Still haven't figured out what to do, I love the gears but hate the whine. Mine's only on deceleration though, not acceleration so it gives me an excuse to keep my foot into the gas...

That's the video I posted up above. Gears are cut for strength, being that loud is just a side effect if you want race worthy gears.

Youch that sounds bad.
