I've got a 98 outback wagon with 175,000 miles. Over the last couple days I've noticed a new noise - sort of a loose grinding sound when the car is accelerating or under a load. It's only when the car is in gear - ruling out the engine - and i can't hear it if the window is down. I'm kinda worried this might be the transmission main shaft bearing, but you'd think I'd be able to hear it all the time, instead of just when the motor is under a load. Anyone got any idea what this could be?
