The whine is most likely too much backlash on the ring and pinion.. Possibly too little preload on the pinion, in which case it might only whine at certain loads.

If you want to fix it, then you could take the third member out of the axle and check /readjust backlash. This is the easiest adjustment to do on the diff and it doesnt require deassembly. But the most you can usually hope for is to get it to whine a bit less.. once they start, there is usually already some wear and you rarely get them completely quiet again. Having a new ring and pinion installed professionally would be the best cure, but that will probably cost about as much as your car.

I've been driving around on a sloppy, extremely whining diff for about 40.000 km's now and it hasnt gotten much worse, so if you drive like a sane person it might last quite a while, but it will drive you NUTS (I drive with earplugs all the time). If on the other hand you are actively going to drift the car, dont expect the differential to last very long.
