whining.. not transfer case
on 7/21/12 i got a used transfer case from ER. before that my var was making this whining noise that sounded like it could have been the transfer case. I took my car in 6/2012 to get a tune up and all that n they told my i needed to get my transfer case rebuilt so i waited a month then got it done (7/21/12). on my way back from there, it was still making the whining noise.. could this be my differential going out or what are my other options. ive done my research and that it was i came up with this possibly being the problem. I dont have a lot of money since im moving. My car has 93k on it and I dont kno if the differential has ever been replaced. Help me out its driving me crazy!!!!!!!!
I will try to post a video of the noise. it happens when im in 4th gear and up, 35+ mph

For the record.... your stock TC will still whine, or rebuilt one. I think (for me at least) you are super **** about it because you just had one blow, so when you get a new one you listen really closesly and still has a slight whine, and you freak out a little.... that's my experience.
I have a shep stg2
ps... was it the exact same noise at the same level?

Yeaa you're probably just listening for it so it sounds more prominent. My tcase is fine, but my car still has a bit of whine at upper speeds. I think it's just the awd system. I've been in other evos and heard the exact same whine I hear in mine. Definitely not the death whine.
tl;dr: no need to worry, it's just because racecar.

I laughed for like 5 minutes straight! Thanks for that! OP, my T-Case is in pretty good condition. I bought it used, inspected the gears for wear before installation, and use OEM fluid changed every 3,500-4,000 miles because I'm paranoid. STILL whines slightly on the highway. I wouldn't worry about it. Worrying about random whines and noises is just part of owning an evo lol
