F20 5th gear whine

Between 35 and 50mph in 5th it's verging on sounding straight cut when you put load on it. All the other gears are fine, and the syncros appear fine as the shift into and out of all gears is not notchy at all.

Just wondered what this was, and whether I should have my spare F20 on standby!

5th is on the same shaft but it's on the outside of the main case. If it was the main shaft bearing you would hear it whine in other gears i think. check the oil level- i don't think the 5th gear get enough oil because of where it is, i have lots of bother with that part.
