I'm getting ready to change the oil in it (ouch $$$), lol. I've read somewhere to add an extra quart through the shift tower to properly lubricate the input bearing. After I change the oil I will just drive it and see what happens. I have to admit you have me a little worried about the NV4500. I was excited about it until your last comment, lol.
It could very well be a normal noise. Run it by a trans shop and have them listen to it before you start getting worried. They do make some normal noises and some make more noises than others. Even the ZF 6 speed in my Silverado has made a noise like an alligator gurgling rocks since the truck was brand new. If you’re getting some vibrations to go along with the noise like I am getting with my new reman 4500 then that is a different story.
