Hissing from the gearbox

[Paul Meyers]

This may be different. Your hiss may be the differentiall pinion bearing
going out. My parts car had this loud hiss coming from the general direction
of the transmission, but it is present in every gear. The other hiss is very
dependent on gear selector position.

NB:  Is the hiss louder in cold climate ?  I have the same problem, and the
hiss is quite loud in winter, to the point of becoming a distraction, and
barely audible in summer.  I worry that this may be a serious problem and
so, thanks for asking the question.  I am sure our experts will offer a
solution.

The car is an '865KTQ, when it is in neutral there is no sound, when it is
in gear there is a constant hissing coming from the gearbox. when wiggle the
gear selector the sound alters a bit, what can cause this, is it as easy as
replacing some bushings to fix it?

problem #2 Sometimes there is a squealing that is coming from the engine,
almost like it is screaming. It almost sounds like a slipping belt but I
know that all the belts are fine and noise free, where is this sound coming
from?

Thanks in advance for all your help!
