but check out the u joints, that would be your best bet, like its been said already
It's still the stock t5. Makes 90% of its noise in 5th gear.

FYI, my TKO500 is very quiet - compared to my old 3550.

Anyway, seemed to be a little play in the driveshaft. I'll replace the u joints this weekend and see how it is.
