if its an automatic ...
Sorry I left that out, its a manual, not an automatic. I figured all SM 420's were manuals.
Could it be the bearings I'm hearing? I'm not against rinsing it out and buttoning it back up and 'just driving it'. I just did not want to do damage to something that was 'asking' to be repaired. I'll check w/NAPA for the gasket or just make my own.

PS: Oh, and what grade fluid should I refill it with? I'm sure the NAPA guy could tell me but I like to ask other folks too.
