 I've got this mystery noise noise coming out of my engine/transmission.  It sounds like something spinning against metal.  I usually hear it when the transmission is under load, such as when I start out in first, although I can make it go away if I'm very delicate with the throttle and clutch. 

At first I thought it was because I needed a new clutch (which I did), so I replaced it along with the pilot bearing and throwout bearing.

Still the noise.

When the reverse went out in my 5 speed, I thought it was related to the noise.  I replaced the 5 speed with a 4 speed out of my parts car.

Still the noise.

I don't think it's related to the engine, 'cause I can rev it till the cows come home and no noise.  The only thing left that I can think of is the pressure plate.  I don't know why this would make a difference.  Anyone have any ideas before I pull the tranny a  third time?
