Did you put stock fluids in there? I ask because tranny fluid only seems to be available in a 5L jug. And the diff fluid that doesn't chatter is ridiculously expensive.

Indeed. But a ton of cars develop that noise. Mine started to do it with only 4K+ miles on the oil, and I drive the car like a grandpa compared to most of you here . Honestly rather put Redline, RP or something with FM than stock (all are 75/140 gear oil). I'm not spending $50 a freaking pint when I'm going to change the oil every 2 years at 8K miles or so. Take care.
