Transmission noise
Ever since i replaced my old clutch and flywheel ive had this whine come from the transmission. I didnt know if this is normal as i remember reading about clutch chatter. It doesnt whine in gear (obviously) but its most noticible while engine is in vaccume (like going down a hill in gear) or going from low to mid rpms.
Any ideas?

It's just gear noise that is amplified with reduction in rotating mass. See, even FM knows
"The heavier unit will be a little quieter on overrun (lightweight flywheels can cause the transmission to make noise on closed-throttle deceleration) and a bit easier to drive."
Just deal with it. I actually kind of like the rally car sounds that sometimes nearly overpower my radio. I guess probably a brand new car might not do it, but anything with any amount of miles on it will have enough play to be noticed.
