My 07 plate Jimny has spent the last two weeks getting it's gearbox sorted. I was getting a constant whistling/whooshing sound even when ticking over in neutral. I took it to a local transmission specialist and they diagnosed noisy bearings. I have now got it back with all the bearings and seals replaced. Whilst it was there it seemed sensible to replace the clutch.
Still a very slight whistling noise but nowhere near as bad as before. I am hoping that noise is just one of those things that I have to get used to and won't cause me problems in the future. 
I was given one of the old bearings to show me that if spun it emitted a grinding noise. So at least I do know that most of the noise was in fact from the gearbox and it did near the work done.

Good that you are back on the road. How many miles were on the gearbox?
