Some timely and, as it turned out, dead accurate advice from the good Don most probably just saved me a shi*load of work and money. Eerie howling noises were indeed coming from the driveshaft centre bearing, not the tranny as I firmly believed. That was despite the fact that the bearing was perfectly fine when I checked it several hundred miles ago. Now it feels like its full of gravel. An hour's work to fit a new bearing, boot and support and all is once again sweet. I was all set to yank the box out. Can't believe that I could be that dumb :)

Thank you Don. I owe you a beer or twenty.
Gotta love the BB.
