Today I went and drove through a bunch of snow trying to get to my buddies cabin staying in1st, 2nd and 3rd all day. I used the winch a few times. About half wayback down the mountain the trans started to sound a bit off in 3rd. So when I got off the mountain I checked the oil level it was a bit low and dark. I had no way to add more but it wasn't very far below the fill hole so I drove it home. On the way there I noticed the squeels once I got home I changedthe oil. Now the trans squeeks and squeels in 3rd and 5th. 1st is normal, 2nd squeeks when first engaged then is fine. 3rd sounds like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. 4th is normal. 5th squeeks and squeels too. Any thoughts. Or do I need to rebuild the trans. I hope not, right now this truck is my daily driver while I am fixing my other trucks. I used NAPA 90wt that is yellow metal compatible. Thanks

Are you convinced the noise is inside the transmission? I wonder if you simply have a bad throwout bearing ,and/or need your clutch linkage adjusted properly. Just a thought.

The fact that in 4th (input and main shafts directly connected at same speed) it doesn't make that noise makes me think about the 14roller MS support bearing.....
