tranny whine...

Rick is correct. The input shaft will be the source of the whine in about 89% of all cases of this low RPM tranny whine. The noise that a throwout bearing would make is a high shrill squeal, similar to running your fingernails down a chalkboard. I would not worry about the noise. If you did not properly prepare the tranny cover/ boot when installing the shifter, you will experience more of the tranny noise escaping up and into the cabin of the car. Thus the increase in the numbers of Tranny Whines by people whom have recently installed shifters.
