Well, I must have scraped some of your gear oil/dirt off the TA then. 
Did you ever clean it?  :)  I removed at least a pound or two of grease 
from it with a putty knife.

I've dealt with wheel bearings before, and this whine doesn't seem to 
fit those symptoms.   The wheel bearings make the same noise on-throttle 
or off, clutch in or clutch out.   This whine is definately there on 
throttle and disappears off-throttle at highway speeds.   I'll 
investigate some more later today... the commute to work this morning 
was the first chance I got to put some real miles on it.
