I have been babying the thing. It only has 500 miles on it now. Supposedly the guy that drove it up is an older fellow (semi-retired service manager) that doesn't beat on stuff. It was sourced from a dealer in a record blizzard area so they probably didn't beat on it.
Anyone heard of this issue? Just a fluke or flaw in the build process?

Mine made a knocking noise when I let the clutch out in neutral. That makes me suspect the front shaft bearings, but it seems to be intermittent. Also, I read that these sticks do have a transmission cooler.
