My old 79 RR didn't whine as much as howl, never had to fix it (the gearbox) and sold it with over 300,000k. It is still going strong used mostly for a fishing rig now. But back to your question I never found a way to quieten it down

Is the whining gear box in an 83 4 speed Rangie a common thing? I think I read somewhere that this was to be expected for this model. If this is the case is there any way to reduce the noise by using a different type of fluid other than the engine oil like the manual states?

Hi Malibu9
In a Series transfercase excessive whining noise is usually caused by the intermediate gear.The fix is quite easy if this is the cause,you add extra shims and the din presides somewhat.If anybody has rebuilt a rangie transfercase they should be able to state if they need shims like the series transfercase does.
