I changed the rear fluid about a week ago. I will admit that when I pulled the rear cover off it had maybe a handful of fluid in it. All of the gears appear o.k. with no cracks or broken teeth and there were no metal pieces in the remaining fluid. There is a gear type whining that I have been hearing lately (that's what made me check the fluid in the first place), but it didn't go away after I added fluid. Someone suggested the center support bearing and I checked mine. It appears to be loose, so I bought another today and will be replacing that tomorrow hopefully.
