I finished up my M5od swap about a month ago, and I've been driving it ever since. I took out the shifter floor plate to cut the hole, and removed all the foam insulation from the bottom, and sprayed it with bedliner. Against my better judgement, I rushed and re-installed it without any insulation. I reinstalled my carpet, with it's insulation layer, and put in the shifter boot (which is NOT bolted down yet).
I've noticed that the transmission seems a bit noisy. It's not really a scrape or a whine, but more of a wirrrr. It's in all gears at all speeds. I honestly do not know if this is normal M5od noise, or if I have a bearing going out.
This was pulled out of a wreck, I'm not sure how many miles. It had plenty of fluid, the fluid looked clean, the rubber plugs were a bit moist but I don't think it was ran dry. Only minimal shavings. It got flushed out with brake fluid, new seals, and synthetic ATF.
I'm also getting a slight CLUNK when I hit the throttle after coasting, but I THINK it's either a Ujoint or a carrier bearing in the rear end. At least that's what I hope.
Anybody have any advice? Am I overthinking it? My last trans was an A4LD, so I don't really know how noisy this thing is supposed to be.
