How "bad" do they whine? I always thought it was a good thing. Search YouTube for Muncie M22 and you'll find plenty of clips to give you an idea.

It might whine so bad that it sounds like a Rock Crusher

Bad ,sounds like something is wrong with the transmission.
Be careful,an M21 with bad bearings makes a lot of noise,bubba tells his friends he has a very rare racing "Rockcrusher" transmission.

There is lots of oil in the tranny . I have never had an M22 before so it seems very loud to me.
