T-19 Noise
Hey All,
My '81 F100, with a T-19 has about 150K on it. I got home from a 6 hour road trip yesterday afternoon and I noticed when I stopped in front of my house, sitting idling, that I had a pretty good whine coming from the transmission. Depress clutch, no noise. Let clutch out, noise.
After things cooled down, there was no longer any noise.
I'm guessing is mostly likely the input shaft bearing on the trans that’s starting to go.
Now, I was pulling a load (about 2K lbs) for the 1/2 the trip, so I'm wondering if things just got a bit hot with the extra weight? I have some standard 80/90 in the there, last changed about 25K miles ago. I don't have time to do a trans rebuild before a 3K mile trip next week (moving cross country).
I'm planning on changing the fluid this weekend and hoping for the best. I'm thinking of using a synthetic blend (or full synth?) hoping that it'll hold up under heat a bit better and at least get me to the left coast.
I think my option at this point is basically, change the fluid and hope it doesn't break. Any other ideas or suggestions?

I drained and filled with Valvoline Synpower 75-90 today. Its one of the few readily available synthetic/synthetic blends GL-5 oils that's tested safe for yellow metals.
I guess we'll see what happens.

Follow up.
The old girl made the 2900 mile road trip from NJ to WA without skipping a beat. Bed loaded down, towing a 2K trailer for 1/2 of it.
Shifts smoothed out considerably with the Synpower and the death whine was gone, even after 500+ miles days @ 65+ mph.
