Okay so my car doesn't make any noise on deceleration. It only makes it under load after the trans is warmed/hot. It will make it a lot. I'm guessing that its not the torque tube and points me to replace the trans.

My TT is making the "coffee grinder" sound you described. I don't want to threadjack, but is there any risk to driving it as is for a while? I assume that the bearings are toast, but since I'm dropping the trans in a few weeks I would prefer to save the work for a "while you're in there" job.

Unless you know which clearance rating your TT bearings are, you are in the dark because a C4 bearing will whine more than a C3 bearing. Also another factor is weather your TT bearings were packed in high temp/performance grease or not. I have C4 packed bearings on the shelf for when I go to redo mine. The C4's are hard to find and expensive, while the C3's can be had for a dime and in my experience last longer, C4's just whine a little more. My $0.02

i thought my bearings were shot in my TT cause I kept hearing this squeeking sound from the TT. So one day I bought new bearings ($150 944online) and was all ready to try and change the bearings but before I did I saw a post that said to check the coupler, so I did. The coupler turned out to be my problem due to one of the bolts not all the way bolted in.
So just in case check the coupler lol
