alright!!!...I took the car out for a long test drive of about 30 min in all conditions up to 75 MPH

Here is what I see:

Whine seems to come from tranny
only in the first 3 gears CANNOT hear it after 3rd
shifts good(albeit) with a ripper shifter its very notchy
clutch releases about 2 inches from bottom of travel position
do not feel any issues other than whine from 1-3rd

I may need to bleed the clutch a bit...could have a slowly failing release bearing...because the normal grab is much sooner than the white car...HOWEVER I drove this car from NC and that was the way it always was...BUT the clutch was failing so I thought that was an indication...other than that car feels good, other than the other little issues I am working...

The whine sounds akin to being on a bus...NOT loud or anything just the same kind of whine.

so!....????
