tighten the pinion nut up a little bit like a 1/4 a turn and drive it again,
you just have the lash set to loose, if it whines when you let out of the throttle

if it still whines, when you let off the gas then tighten it up a smug more!
if it roars all the time or when your in the throttle its to tight
