Yep, had it just over two weeks. I haven't heard gear noise like this since my grandfather's old Biscayne with 3 on the tree. Boy that car met an ignominious end.

I can just about guarantee this car is 100% stock, flywheel, trans and rear end, given the ownership history. But sitting for as long as it did is never good for moving parts and I suspect is a big reason it's so loud. If this kind of noise is really normal, I'll be very surprised. Driving in the parking deck felt like it was echoing off the walls.

I'm thinking a fluid change is seriously overdue and might fix a lot of the issue. Any opinions on the Red Line oils? I may give the guru a call and see what he thinks.
