drive this thing next to the wall or concrete median on the expressway.
if you hear the same or louder then put in the clutch and it goes away i
would strongly suspect the ring and pinion in the trans.  i also might be
main shaft bearings in the trans, thats what causes the R&P to go bad in
the first place.

I just got my new motor and rebuilt tranny from a reputable builder
running for the first time today. I took the van for a ride around the
block. When I let off the gas in first or second and decel in gear,the
tranny whines. I push in the clutch or step on the gas the noise goess
away. Any suggestions other that the tranny? I know once I get in touch
with the tranny rebuilder,if its the tranny he will make good.  Just
looking for suggestions...       Bill
