    Strange noise in third gear ?

    Hey chaps, I am running a 4 speed box in my escort which has started to make an odd whining noise in third gear, the sound is like when a diff is running low on oil.
    I have checked the oil level in the box and it is level with the oil plug.
    This noise only seems to be in third , and non of the other gears, does anyone have an idea what it cold be ?

    Thanks in advance
