have you checked the gearbox oil??  is it leaking??

If it's whining already, it's probably on it's way out.  You could try changing the oil for a decent synthetic.. might buy you some time before the inevitable

Probably too late as its most likely the main shaft bearings. But check the oil first.

Use the thickest gearbox oil you can find.
