What vibration? You didnt mention any vibration before now. I checked.
Ooooh booy. Why did you withhold this information? If you were here I'd punch you in the arm.Hard! lol.
And nooow you mention a whine. After I spilled all my secrets.
I have got to start asking more questions.
So; these are not normal. If the tranny is whining, its like a cat when you're standing on its tail. He's telling you something is wrong.
Jumping out is one thing.We already talked about that.
Whining is another
And vibration is a third.
Each of these by itself can have their own solutions. When all three are in concert, it could spell a fourth solution.
-Lets talk about the whining.There are several possible sources of that in the tranny. The first one is bearings. The second is tooth contact. The third is misalignment.
-Lets talk about vibration.There are no obvious sources of vibration inside the tranny.Other sources are the clutch assembly, the driveshaft assembly, and other.Heres the thing; vibration can be a major enabler of jumping out of gear during coasting or deceleration.You need to fix this first. I'm not saying your tranny is ok,cause its not. I'm saying the vibration could be driving the condition.
-Now lets talk about whining again. Lets say your pilot bushing fell out. (Dont laugh,it happens). This would immediately produce a vibration as the disc drops off center. It would also drag the input shaft off center. This would tip the inner race of the front bearing, driving the balls into the outer races, and probably squeezing the oil film down to nearly nothing.And you can imagine the rest.Thers something else that would happen. The off-center running input, would apply pressure to the needle bearings at the front of the output shaft,eventually causing the nose to fail. And a third thing that would happen is, finally, the whining; as the edges of the drive teeth on the off-center running input gear, dig into the teeth of the cluster drive-gear.
So you can see that just that little $3(1999pricing)part COULD cause all three symptoms.Again, Im not saying you need a new bushing. I'm just presenting you with a possible solution.
So, bottom line is this; find and fix the vibration. This may forstall the tranny rebuild.At least for a while.
