SR transmission noise - help please!

[Deadrodent]

hey everyone...seems i have another problem with my car. the transmission is now making a very noticeable noise and i'm having a difficult time diagnosing the problem.

the noise happens in all gears with the clutch engaged and the car moving.

it first started off as a whine but now has been replaced with a loud growl/blowing wind sort of noise. (when i accel quickly the transmission noise is louder than the engine)

i have a few ideas but i'd like to see what you guys think. i think it could either be the throwout bearing destroying itself or my transmission's gears destroying themselves (maybe because of low fluid? but why would the sound get worse unless i have a fluid leak in the transmission?)

baaaaah someone please help! thanks in advance!

im thinking throwout bering once a bearing goes it will only get worse and quick. but check your fluid hows the level and see if there is any metal in it there should be a magnet on the drain plug

the sound gets louder in 4th...thinking output bearings?

most likely because thats the best way to single it out is to see if the noise changes in direct drive.
