Default Tremec TKO600 5th gear chatter noise

Can't imagine it will be possible to diagnose what my issue is, but my trans is making a chatter noise in 5th only. Has anyone had issues with this trans and gear with high horse power? If so, what did you find? Sounds like gear noise. Not sure if its an easy fix or not.

Did the noise show up after the clutch install or was it there before?

Thats where I would put it my man. I did a Tr6060 build a while back on a 5th gen Camaro and at the same time a Monster clutch was installed. The customer noticed a noise only in 5th gear and very short duration of time in the rpm range. When you install a more rigid type clutch with stiffer dampner springs or no springs at all, it can create all kinds of little annoyances like you are experiencing.

actually, I think the noise is getting better (not as loud). must be due to the clutch breaking in.....or because I fixed my radio. Thanks
