Steinkrunk is an unknown quantity at this point
The reason that you need gl4 is because of the brass synchros our transmissions have. The additives in gl5 will eat these away and make them take a shit. If you have a tranny that runs good with gl5, just give it a couple months of some repeated hard use and you'll wish you had used gl4 from the beginning.

OP, you sound like you have a pilot bushing problem. It's the little bushing that goes between the end of your crank and the trans input shaft. Once it starts to go it makes a whine, and eventually it'll make a whine in all gears. Also you could check your tranny mount, if it's worn it could be stressing the pilot bushing/input shaft and causing the whine.
