96 GT Tranny Noise
my 96 gt's tranny has started making a "whirring" noise that gets progressively louder as RPM's decrease. I've checked the fluid level, it's fine. I have a pro 5.0 shifter in it, but i set the stop bolts correctly so i don't think that's the problem. the tranny only has 70,000 miles on it, but could it already be the input or output shaft bearings? If not, then is it normal wear?

There are two possibilities for your problem. One is the shaft bearing, but if those are out, it's more of a knocking noise. But the other possibility, it's possible that "dust" can get caught inside of the clutch plates and cause a whirring sound that you might be experiencing.

It has been making some occasional knocking noises too. If the bearings go, do you think i should go ahead and rebuild the whole tranny, or just get a new one? which would be cheaper?

i just think it's kinda odd that the bearings are going at 70,000 miles...i mean this car has been BABIED. I'm a freshman in college and gettin a new tranny is just so expensive. but oh well i see yall's point.
