Other than those issues, she runs great and pulls hard.

There are a few other noises that the car makes, i am thinking they are normal and i'm just not used to a performance car. Such as sometimes when i put it into 1st gear and start to take off, there is a bump or clunk from the rear...

It's pretty simple to change tyranny fluid; imho you should be doing that yourself. Either way, don't let your "mechanic" put some random fluid in there. It's a $5,500 transmission and the wrong fluid will ruin it!

The clunk is probably improperly torqued control arm cam bolts (from the last badly-done alignment by another "mechanic" who doesn't follow oem specifications).
