Make sure your top shaft isn't bent as well as your motor mount plate, that would definitely make it noisy. Hope this helps.
Hey fellas with the noisy trannies. Is the gear mesh too tight? Do you lube the gears in the tranny? I NEVER run them dry. This is what I use. AC-1001 Super Speed Gear Lube . It can be found here or thru your local LHS.
