Default Is this normal??

I seem to be getting a "whining" noise from the tranny or rear diff.. i dont know which one. I never noticed it cause i always have my music on. The "whining" seems to start at about 1500 rpm's and sort of accelerates in pitch as i move towards 2000 rpm's.

I dont know if this is normal or not.. my cobra did the same thing but it was normal. I have never changed the rear diff fluid and i know i need a good beyotch slappin.. but im doing it tommorrow morning. I have changed out my tranny fluid many of times and it always comes out looking good.

One more question. how much fluid does the transmission hold on an MN6??

thankx

The MN6 takes 4 quarts and the differential takes 2.
