whine from the gearbox??

[james thomas]

i seem to have a nasty whine coming from the gearbox on my samurai.
its the first sammy ive owned and only driven it a handfull of miles so im a bit in the dark. is this a common problem? seems to be worse the faster i go. it also hasnt been on the road for 3 years

First things first have you checked the oil to see that its not contaminated and that it actually has enough oil in it?

Personally changing all the oils is the first thing I do when I buy a vehicle.
