No, it made no noise before I pulled it. The trans shop I took it to (local place that's done good work for me, but not a Porsche specialist) is thinking something came loose when I pulled it.

Here's what it sounds like running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWWvBP2g1T4

For the record, I get that noise with the clutch out, and when the car is moving (clutch in or out). If the car is stationary with the clutch in, it's nice and quiet. Hence why I have pulled it 3 times looking for clutch/flywheel/release bearing issues.

I used Porsche OEM gear oil I got from Pelican. This stuff: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/00004330549.htm?pn=000-043-305-49-OEM

I filled it according to the instructions in the 101 Projects book.
