It seems like I'm having just the opposite problem. When I push the clutch in the noise goes away. Its when I'm driving along in any gear at about 3500 RPM that the noise starts up?

Hi Listers,
I'm in need of some assistance.
I just installed a factory rebuilt transmission in my 1979 Spitfire along with a new clutch and a new clutch release bearing. The transmission seems to be shifting fine. I've also have got my overdrive working properly again.
The problem is that when I get the car up to around 3500 RPM I start getting a kind of clattering noise? If I push the clutch in there is no noise.
Also, it seems like if I just stomp on the gas and go through the gears I don't notice the noise nearly as much, if at all.
Does this sound like it could be the clutch or the clutch release bearing or is my Transmission Faulty?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Ken W.
My guess is that it is related to the throw out bearing. Since it is spinning loosely all the time, when the clutch is not engaged any slack in it might show up as that chattering you hear. Engaging the clutch would load the bearings inside and cause it to go away.
Joe
