I've had a bit of a whining in my tranny only under a load for some time now. Just recently started getting worse. More "crunchiness" (for lack of a better word) in the already present whining.

The other day, on my way home. I started to smell something like a brake smell or (hopefully not) clutch smell. Im not sure if it was actually me or not, brakes were working fine and clutch still grabs as good as it did on day 1. I was on the interstate with a lot of other people around me. It only concerned me because it wouldn't go away.

Then started to hear a pop noise from the transmission. I could feel it a little bit in the shifter. It was constant only when the gas was applied. Put it in neutral and rev and coast, nothing. Any one have any insight on what the problem may be?
