Noisy RT4WD : Transmission ?

My Shuttle is very noisy on the road.
The noise is like the noise from the reverse gear (but lower).
The noise appear only when the wheels are spinnig, it still there when I press the clutch pedal (while the car roll).
I thought it was the Tires, I tried with my 2 sets of wheels : No change.
I changed the oil, MTF3, two times : No change.
The gear changing is very smooth, all the synchros are OK
The 2 front bearings are brandnew.

Please help anyone ?
Thank you very much !!!! :D

    i just got one and the same thing ...a whinning sound when rolling above 30mph ish clutch in or out.
    shifts perfect just feels like its dragging a bit.
    pissed !!!
    one guy quoted crazy $$$ for a rebuilt. i've got it being taken apart by this guy to see what the problem is and what needs to be done and said he could get a used one for $450 if need be. ???

    I bought a complete, but in poor state, RT4WD for cheap... The Trans is OK on this one, I'll swap...
    I'm not enough confident for rebuild the my trans :/

    tranny bearings bad in mine.. not as bad as the one guy but still a bit pricey. having the clutch done and rear main while its apart already. its a super clean one with only 81k miles so i'm willing to put the $$ into it. looking around this site at some of these wagons makes me want to start REALLY spending !!

    it sounds like the throwout bearing. either way, you have to pull the tranny.
