Default 1998 SL2 - Engine 'whirring' noise

My engine has developed a 'whirring' noise when I press on the gas
pedal. It increases in volume the faster I go until I hit about 60km/h
(next gear up) and then it fades quite a bit. Anyone have any idea what
may be causing this?

Thanx,
Toastee

What kind of transmission does this car have?

Just taking a shot at it, but I would suspect that a noise like you
describe would more likely be coming from the automatic transmission
than the engine.

My 95 SW2 did that. I had to have the Input shaft nut replaced.
