I put a TKO500 in my car about 12,000-15,000 miles ago. As would be expected it was slightly louder than my original T5. This was mostly noticible in 5th gear where it made a sort of rattling sound while in gear under any condition except when I completely let off the gas. Over the past two weeks I noticed that it seemed to be a little louder. I didn't really think much of it though. After driving it tonight though it's starting to make a **** tone of noise. It's the same rattling type sound it made in fifth gear but louder. I will also experience it periodically in fourth gear. This is not to mention that it also makes the noise when I lug it down. This happened before as well but it is also getting worse than it used to be. Despite this it seems to function and shift fine. Tomorrow I'm going to try and troubleshoot this thing. I will obviously check the fluid first, even though I haven't noticed any leaks, but besides that I just can't think of why it would start to make more noise. Where should I go from there. Is there any reason this thing should be starting to make more noise? Thanks.
