Strange noise still



I recently posted a message about a strange sound in the transmission of 
my '91 200 Q.  I checked the things that several members told me about.  
They are all fine/in good condition.  Maybe I can better describe the 
noise.  It is a bearing growl in 1st, 2nd, and part of 3rd gear.  The 
noise subsides when the clutch is depressed and when the car is in 
neutral.  I am pretty sure it is a bearing noise.  I called Ned today and 
he said that he has to replace the bearings in his 200 Q every week 
almost, but his car is running at about 400 HP.  He said that it isn't 
very likely that the bearings would go out so soon in a non-modified 
'91.  Does anybody have any further thoughts or suggestions?  Has anybody 
every changed out the bearings before and has some tips?  Thanx.
