No aberrant sounds in 4th gear but in 5th some whirring and creeking and grinding.....(is it a bearing going out?)...also in 1,2 3 there is some light whirring and minor clicking.....(if I baby it it will drive just fine but one mechanic told me it was going to go eventually and blow out the transm casing....I dont have the $1100.00 he wants to repair it........can I do this myself??....am really poor right now)
Drive it till it drops, and then get a used one from an auto wrecker. You could do it yourself if you have someone helping you who knows something.
It shouldn't be. Most of them will give you 30 day warrantee.
I am more scared of a rebuilt transmission than a used one. I have never had a rebuilt last nearly as long as a factory built. Some things are better new, some things are better used. When you drive to the parts store, you get there on used parts.
Just call around, and ask if they have warrantee on their stuff. Go look at the vehicle it came out of. Chances are it's still in it. Check the miles.

Most likely your lay-shaft bearing is failing and the tranny will have to be removed to repair it. Do it NOW because if you keep driving you will add to your woes. The forward layshaft bearing is accesable by just removing the bellhousing assy, from the tranny (easy,cheap fix if you get in early).

someone told me it was a real gamble getting an used one at an auto wreckers place?
