Almost certainly, is there oil in it?
Does it happen at all speeds, on or off the power?

If it made the noise before - and still makes the same noise after a final drive change - it can't be the final drive making the noise..... Most likely the gearbox - but do check there is some free play in the clutch operation.

Does it whine in 4th, as well as the other gears? If it does it is unlikely to be the gearbox. Can you locate the direction, front or rear?
