Unfortunately that's something that's hard to diagnose over the internet, does it sound like air leaking or gear noise?

gear.. when you hit the gas it screams loud then as rpms go up not so much anymore

But is melting snow getting down in it. Maybe the seal is bad.

Do you have enough oil in your tranny? I had the same sound when we ran a 400 scrambler with no oil.
