Afew questions, TO bearing, gears...

Hey guys, now that my buildup is 90% finished its time to work out thoes little problems now. After i got the exhaust installed i can actually listen to the motor and trans. So ive noticed when the clutch is out it sounds like if i had a torque converter a marble is spinning inside it. My buddy told me its a bad TO bearing so i just wanted to make sure. When the clutch is pushed in it goes away and its noticible when im standing on the side of the car while its running i can hear it. Also if it is the TO bearing what problems will that cause me down the road? It only seems to happen after ive been driving for a minute, at startup it dosint make any noises.

Last guestion, i have 2.73 gears in my car now. I was thinking of going with 3.73's with my setup. Will that make much of a difference? I have 133k on my rear end now if that matters.

Thanks in advance for any help/imput.

Re: Afew questions, TO bearing, gears...

Well i am not too much help with the noise problem, but it does kinda sound like the TO bearing.

But as for the gears, do it. You will see a big difference. Since you have 133k on the rear, get the master rebuild kit when you get the gear too. That way you replace all your bearings and seals. While you are at it, check you your posi unti. May want to replace the due to the hight miles.
