JY,
  My 5 spd makes a little whirling noise when the clutch is disengaged. It
always has and now with over 118000 miles on it I don't think its a problem.
I'm about to put a new Centerforce dual friction in this spring with taxmas
money but this tranny has gone through the original 5.2 and now in with my 5.9
and been beat the whole way. This tranny has definitely earned my respect!
