[s-cars] Noises after replaced 5spd...

So I finally got fed up with my dying 5spd and got it replaced.  Larry and
Champagne Motors in Denver Co happened to have a slightly used (12K miles)
from another '92.  Had that, as well as the water pump replaced at the same
time.  Now, with just about 1000 miles since then, I still have some issues.

Right after I picked up the car, a weird vibrating was coming from the engine
at 3000-3400 RPM.  This never happened before.  They told me it was due to the
ASW alum. flywheel I had installed almost 10K miles ago.  I just do not
understand why it would only occur after they install a used tranny.  Any
thoughts?

I also have a high pitch noice anywhere from 4000 to 4400 RPM.  This only
happens after the car is warm or has been driven for a bit.  It sounds like
some sort of chain rubbin against some other piece of metal.  Do these cars
have any kind of chain that would do such a thing?  Any ideas why this would
only appear after a new tranny was put in?  Again, the mechanic does not seem
to care.

Both of these issues only happened after I had the water pump and 5spd
replaced.  They were right when I picked up the car and they have not changed
since then (little over a month and about 1000 miles).

I would really appreicate any kind of help on this.  If these guys screwed me,
I would like to know.  They do not seem to care since my car has 125K and some
other issues, but that pretty much pisses me off right now.

Thank you all for your help and ideas.....
