Last year I decided I don't want to hear any more grinding so I changed the
1st, 2nd and 3rd (for the fun of it :) synchros.  After putting the
transaxle
together, and a little bit of driving, I noticed a wining at idle when the
clutch
is released.  Press the clutch pedal, the noise completely goes away. 
Nothing
while driving the car.  At some point I thought the transaxle wasn't
properly 
alined.

For now I'm just driving it, but I'd be curious to find out what's going on.
