Re: slight whine.

I am going to check the backlash which I read is 1/32 .I will drain the fluid and take off the opposite inspection plate on the transmission to be sure it is properly set,and in answer to your question the PTO was rebuilt (by a professional) before I installed it,the transmission was filled and I us...
