Worth a try. My whine began in 3rd and then crept into the others.

Definitely. Forum has helped me out on more than a few occasions.

Worth noting that the youtube video in the link to the fix makes it look quite easy. Getting that snap ring off was a bit of a pain.

Did mine on saturday whilst doing the clutch. Was noisy in 5th on over run. Noise gone.
Thanks to the OP. Could have been paying out for a gearbox build.

Did mine earlier this year. Cured the whining in 1st gear, and it also tightened up the gear change throughout the box - well worth the £20 odd outlay (and an hour with the spanners)

What parts do I need to fix this problem, can someone give me the actual name of the parts and who to get them from as I'll get it orderd today, I've got a humming noise in 3rd gear starting to piss me of now, it's not loud but I can hear it.

Have a look at the end of your gearbox (under the arch) you should see a large black plastic cap about 2 1/2 inches across. That be it.
Also the drain and re-fill plug takes a special splined socket on mine.
Worth a check before you shell out on oil you cant use.

 

[Bigjohn84]

Is that it?
