Some "srrrrrrrrrrrr" sound is quite normal. But once I had the problem
that the plastic cover on the inner side of the part where the
gear shift lever ("Ritzelabeckung") goes through went loose and was
producing additional sounds.
Very bad to fix with glue, because everyting is polluted with grease ...

Drive some steep passes with full load :-)))
Always helped and improved break performance noticeable !
