Default gear whine

So, what causes it? What can you do to fix? What does it hurt?

It is caused by them not being installed properly and not being shimmed correctly. It will result in excess friction and could probably cause damage over time. Only way to fix it is completely would be to get them reinstalled correctly. Other than that, you may want to change the rear end fluid to the best one you can find.
