Let me get this straight: you paid for a Tranny that will give you hummers in 3 gears? That's pretty sick.

It could be a bearing in the tranny, the input shaft bearing is typically one of the first to go bad.

Did you replace the throwout bearing when you changed the tranny? Could be that as well.

Parts to replace the input shaft bearing is ~$35, and the better part of a day to replace it. Shop costs would be more than the transmission is worth.

Does the noise go away when you push on the clutch and appear when you let off (while sitting stationary of course at idle)?
