Well i went to the track friday, made a fool out of myself, and hurt my tranny in the process.
I started a burnout, the wheels werent wet enough, so it violently wheel hopped, also shaking off my cai tube, which had me spuddering down the track, watching a honda pass me up.
I get to the end and fix the problem, and go for another, this time i did the burnout right, but spun a 2.5 60', it was horrible.

When i was leaving the track i noticed my t-5 making a whinening noise, but only in 1st gear with the clutch engaged, (clutch pressed in) and ONLY in that gear. The t-5 isnt real old, im wondering if that wheel hop did it, it was so bad my wheels litterally bounced off the ground!

before i go outside and pull it down, does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? or how much it would cost?
I been having bad luck with my new combo, but the motor runs great, tires arent holding, and driveline parts are failing, btw, the t-5 shifts fine, and the noise goes along with how fast the driveshaft is spinning, all the rest of the gears are quiet as new, im stumpped guys, could i luck out, and it just be an input bearing? also, the clutch works fine.
thanx
Brian..
