Kind of strange. At low rpms giving the car moderate load, say 4th gear at 20 mph or so and rpms around 1400, if I give the car some gas to get up in speed I hear a vibration coming through the shifter. To me it sounds like a kind of high frequency rattle such as if a shifter or the like were left loose, that is not my case though.

It is just weird, looking for some suggestions. It didnt happen before the swap, I replaced the throwout bearing, pilot, and clutch/flywheel. I am just wonding if I could have messed with something that caused that or if there is anything normal or common about it.

Thanks

Mine does not chatter at all unless it is hot. I know some people that had some chatter but after leaving the line a few times in 2nd with some rpms it cleared up, from what they said. I was quite surprised on how smooth it actually is. I dont know how much the gear difference would make, but I drove a vette that had 3.42's and had a bit of chatter.

I have been told by several people that this noise is just due to the unsprung disk. I get it a LITTLE in 2nd but rearly ever, 3rd some more, but more consistently in 4th. Everything seems to be ok though.
