Is a transmission whine normal or is it indicative of a problem with the ZF6?
Does the ZF require a specialist to work on it or can we do the bearing ourselves?

How about the clutch, I assume the high engagement isn't normal. Any recommendations on a bulletproof replacement?

Whine may be the input shaft/gear itself. It was on mine.
Likely both the shaft and input bearing but I'll never know for sure now.
Did both after the whine continued after replacing the bearing..
The ZF6 work can be done yourself but you need patients and as I recall there are three things easily effed up. You need a 20ton or so press for any syncro work.
Capacity is a bit over 2 qts (I'm not near my FSM) but you just keep adding till it want to run out the fill hole.
Clutch engaging high is a good thing to me. Better that than low.
