Loud Engine

[kori]

Hi guys. I really need your help on this.
I have a Celica GT/94 with the following symptoms:
-Loud Engine noise (Looks like Iam driving on first gear all the time) The noise is the same when Iam on first, second.....and fith gear.
-The RPM gauge is @ 4000 when I am driving around 70 miles per hour and over, but goes down to 1000 RPM everytime that I change gears.
-Last week while I was driving downhill @ 70 miles per hour I placed the car in neutral and the RPM gauge went down to 1000 RPM, but the engine noise was still the same.
-If I acelerate the car in neutral position (car not moving) the engine noise is normal.
Note:
I replaced the clutch around 2 months ago.

Can you please help me?...or is there no hope?

Hi guys,
I could not wait any longer so today I went to the Toyota Dealer and this was the diagnostic:

NEEDS DRIVER SIDE HUB AND BEARING REPLACED. THEN TEST DRIVEN TO DETERMINE IF PASSENGER HUB AND BEARING ARE FAILING.

Cost for the Diagnosis: $75.00
Cost of repair: $430 for each side.

I am thinking of fixing it myself. Any advise?

Kori.
