IML: sure grip whine

["Chris Strohmeyer" <chrisstroh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again all!

Well, I just had my sure grip rebuilt because of a whine by a reputable rear 
end shop here. I took it out myself and handed it to them. Replaced all 
bearings and clutches, but not the ring and pinion because it looked good to 
them.  $540. worth all together.  They showed me the clutches and they were 
in terrible shape-broken and such so it needed doing.

Guess what, the whine is still there! The rebuilder drove in my car and said 
it's the ring and pinion.  He was wondering if this might be the nature of 
this beast?  They said they'd be willing to drop in a used ring for $150. 
more with no guarantees on the whine because it's used.  I really don't want 
to sink more $ into this if I can help it for a new one

What are your opinions about this possibly being normal and is there any 
magic oil that might quiet it down a bit?(besides bananas?)
Anyone?

Thx,
Chris Strohmeyer
