well i looked through all the posts and all i found was about a auto transmission. i have a 5 speed manual, 1998 jetta a3. not sure which tranny i think its 020? anyway i get this whining and is getting me worried. it can do it when the car is moving or not moving. only can hear it at idle sounds like a whining with a bearing loose. its wierd all the regular parts like cv boots and bearings are fine check them so much im getting tired. how i know is tranny is if car is not moving i sit right near front left tire and hear it. when i push clutch in it goes away!!! when i let it out it starts again. i know tdi's pretty good but not trannys. this weekend am going to change oil in tranny but dont think it will go away. im about ready to give up on this thing. it nickel and diming me to death and i do all my own work. please help!
