The motor is running fine. BUT......
It seems that I have baked my transmission. go figure. I have put 450km on the car since It left my garage. The transmission is now acting up. I am having a hard time getting it into any gear and it likes to drop out of 5th on its own. It also has a loud howl in 2nd and 3rd gear. I have been to a few shops in town here to diagnose the problem. They all tell me the same thing. Looks like my syncros are gone and maybe the mainshaft rear bearing. I was told it is cheaper to just hit a salvage yard for another one. Rebuild is about $1000.00. I have the S52 and the BEAMS came with the S54. I do not know if the extra HP caused the stress on the parts or if it was on its way out before I swapped. I might have to track down a S54. Sucks to be me......
