mine makes no noises, I would look into it before running it more, might be something loose.
No idea on thouse mounts, I have polys and the 1st few days they vibrate a little but dose not change with the clutch in or out so I dont think they have anything to do with it.

Sounds like backlash on the gears if it's only doing it in nuetral.

It only happens when in neutral with the clutch out. When you push the clutch in it goes away. Is that normal can anything be done to make it go away. Some people tell me it's normal with a twin disk

Do you think it could be the trans it only happens when the clutch is out. i Just put in a new Zr1 t6060 and z06 diff also. It drives great other than the clutch out neutral noise.

sounds like an input problem?? i know from my last visit at the track my trans is whining a little bit with the clutch out in neutral and in gear going down the road. but 650 rwhp and stock everything t56 with et street slicks i guess i cant complain too much. mine sounds like input bearing.. hoping the gears arnt messed up! its definitely not the clutch in my situation though

In earlier days a loud noise in neutral was indicative of a bad throw-out bearing.

I have the same setup in my c5 only I have pfadt mounts. I had an issue with driveshaft runout (prob not your prob) but it caused multiple pilot bearing failures and did similar to what you are describing.

I agree with this, is there a vibration in the shifter? If the pilot is bad it will allow the disc's to miss align and cause a slight vibration or noise. It will get worse when the bearing starts to wear out more.

I guess its normal with twin disk clutches. I thought i maybe had a problem with my torque tube. Heres what they said on the vette forum.
