Along with that, pay attention to where the sparks go.
Blow them back under a bench where sawdust may have collected starts a fire sometimes.

Before you start cutting up the floorboards, remove them and take the car for a short drive.
The squeak may not be where you think it is.

Grinding a minimal amount of wood out for clearance may not do it either.
There should be about 1" clearance between trans and floorboard.

Nice part about wood is it's heat insulating effect
Meaning, I'd build another wood floor before going to a steel one, then adding insulation, jute etc.
