Default zf5 trans whining

iv brought this up before but my transmission is really starting to whine in 4th and 5th gears going down the road. What do you guys think i should do? I was looking on ebay and a rebuild runs right around 1000 and the oem master rebuild kit is around 550 so would i be better off just buying a reman tranny or trying to rebuild it myself?

I've never rebuilt a ZF5 but manual transmissions are fairly easy to rebuild. I'd have no hesitation doing it myself.

it depends how much you want to do and if you know what to look for.
