[s-cars] 1st Gear Whine

[Theodore Chen]

chris, i thought the whine was from the bearings, and galled 1st gear produces a flapping noise similar to a playing card in bicycle spokes.

Paul,

tons of trans info here:
http://www.elektro.com/~audi/01E/

The whine is caused by a "galled" 1st gear.
The weak point of many 01E Quattro transmissions is 1st gear. 
It makes a noise but doesn't seem to kill the transmission, although
several people have tried! Info specific to the 1st gear is here:
