Someone Play Taps for my Getrag (I think)

There's a whole lotta shakin' going on. I think my Getrag puked again after one year on a rebuild. Even filled up higher with a street Ell added to fill port. Kinda weird. I can drive it at times now with it not shaking, then sometimes it just starts shaking. Sorta feels like a disc brake hanging on a rusty rotor. Only clue that it's the tranny at this point is the outside of the tranny was about 110 degree (normal?) to the touch after a 35 mile no load run. Not a drive shaft either; checked both sections.
Someone tell me; I had been experiencing a chirping horn type sound, just a short burst sound when I let out the clutch. No slipping, just the chirp when I let the clutch out in a hurry.
Is that the pilot bearing or a pressure plate issue?
