....a rattle with the clutch up in neutral can be
*Loose or worn springs in the clutch disc 'hub'
*Loose or worn fingers on the clutch pressure plate
*Gear rollover within the trans
*Incorrect lube in the trans...as we all should know
With the clutch up and in neutral ALL of the gears within the trans rotate except the output shaft and final drive/diff gears.

hrrmm i am running amsoil and friction modifier in the box. i don't know how long this noise has been present. so i guess maybe i will ignore it for now, unless it gets worse or i launch parts through the housing.

Is some occasional belt noise when releasing the clutch in first gear for a regular start normal as well?

I would think it would be a weak tensioner on the belt, in that situation. How often does it happen?

Just occasionally, sorta depends on how I let the clutch out and give gas. Usually it's at really low rpm. I figure it's probably tensioner too. I'll wait till it gets bit worse though and just keep an eye on it.

Are you sure you're not hearing it while you're mid-shift (i.e. clutch in motion or in, and throttle partly closed)? I hear it too when I'm hammering it, shifting at 5K or above, it's like a little tweet or sigh, and I thought it was the TOB but now I wonder if maybe it's a little vacuum noise, either a leak or by design.
