I just got my car back from the shop after having a beat rear pinion bearing. The gears are whining , but the guy said it should go away after a couple of days. Is this true?

Also , in 5th gear the shifter handle shakes bad and makes a lot of noise if i am cruising on the parkway.

Final question is about cooling. I have a heads cam and intake motor with some other bells and whistles with stock cooling , the engine runs real hot. The radiator seems to be only about an inch thick too ( 4cyl rad?). It has a new water pump and thermostat , i just picked up two electric fans , one is a dual ,a nd one is a single , which one will be better? Will this solve my heat problem? The car runs at about 210 and getrs really hot in traffic.
