Ever since I bought my 95' Pathy (SE-Automatic) there has been an every increasing in gear whine sound coming from somewhere (in both 2WD & 4WD)??? It is loudest between 30-40 MPH and a slightly higher pitch when coasting. The sound does not change when I put the transmission in neutral when coasting.
The front auto-lock wheel hubs were gunked up and not disengaging everytime so I rebuilt them and inspected the front bearings, but still the noise. I replaced the rear diff fluid with Lucas gear oil (no chips on the plug magnet), but still the noise. I replaced the transfer case fluid with synthetic ATF (no chips on the plug magnet), but still the noise. The auto trans fluid looks very clean as well. The front shafts no longer spin unless in 4WD so I have not bothered with the front diff. I am out of things to check except for the rear bearing which look like a major deal to inspect. Any ideas?
