    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    Duplicate post from sale section.

    If the howl stops when you pull in the clutch. You are looking at a bearing, or throwout in the clutch possibly going bad. Pull the side cover and check out the complete clutch assembly.

    middle gear whine

    Is it a chirping, whining sound from around 2,500 - 4,500 RPM's
    It's the crank-to-clutchbasket gearset singing to you.
