Car runs smooth, it just is noisy. There isn't too much slop in the drivetrain or other parts.
Could switching pinioned make the car noisy? As if the spur was worn in to the old pinion or something like that?
Change your pinion back and see if the car quiets down. If so, it's the pinion. Did you accidently put a metric pinion on there?
