i have a 87 13b na and i have a whine in first and second gear i went to chicago and it satrted in third gear and coming home it started lightly in fifth gear fourth still is silent i can hear a whine when the clutch is engaged and when i press the pedal down the noise stops i was thinking a clutch prob but a local high priced transmission place said it was the output shaft bearing i really need help please

 

Did you search? I can almost guarantee this has come up before. I think that shop may be right, too. It could be your pilot bearing or some other bearing around the area.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Your symtoms point to the countershaft bearings or the input gear.
Those parts are loaded in all but 4th gear.

First, get a fresh change of synthetic gear lube in the tranny.
That might save it.
