Zookie!
Mine was whining in every gear when coasting, even in neutral while rolling.
It's in the shop now for a complete rebuild.
Good luck with yours.

All you can do is fill it up through the fill hole until it starts to spill back out, right?

Basically. Vertex has rebuilds for $3500. Then of course your removal and install price from your local indy.
