It isn't suppose to make any noise.

Subject: IML: sure grip whine


Hi again all! 
 
Well, I just had my sure grip rebuilt because of a whine by a reputable 
rear end shop here. I took it out myself and handed it to them. 
Replaced all bearings and clutches, but not the ring and pinion because 
it looked good to them. $540. worth all together. They showed me the 
clutches and they were in terrible shape-broken and such so it needed 
doing. 
 
Guess what, the whine is still there! The rebuilder drove in my car and 
said it's the ring and pinion. He was wondering if this might be the 
nature of this beast? They said they'd be willing to drop in a used 
ring for $150. more with no guarantees on the whine because it's used. 
I really don't want to sink more $ into this if I can help it for a new 
one 
 
What are your opinions about this possibly being normal and is there 
any magic oil that might quiet it down a bit?(besides bananas?) 
Anyone? 
 
Thx, 
Chris Strohmeyer
