Arrow knocking in shifter area, brake light issue

Hey guys I got a little problem. Well i have almost 1000 miles on my rebuild and im allowing myself to rev a bit higher than 4k, no more than 5500 though. Anyway I was driving around all day no problems until I was leaving a 24hour walgreens and decided to do a few little donuts in the large empty parking lot. They sucked since I cant rev too high but that was that. Immediately after leaving the parking lot I started hearing a loud obnoxious knocking from my shifter area. Its still shifting like it was before (shitty) and the noise is quite sporatic. Any ideas?

Second of all i realized today when someone else was sitting in my car that my hazard/turn lights light up whenever my brakes are pressed. I highly doubt this is normal, what could be wrong?

That was a really stupid thing to do.
