>Hey, I can't shake the feeling that my Coupe runs warm.  The needle stays
at the second mark from the red, most of the time.  I have replaced the
thermostat and coolant.

My new engine ran cooler in the donor car and in my car.  No one knows why. 
makes enough heat but a bit more would be nice...

>AND, has anyone had a pressure plate go bad on them?

That would take a lot judging from what it looks like, and not from knowing
what the heck I'm talking about.  IME usually the t/o bearing or clutch goes
first.

>AND, ever since I replaced the cat with a "different" one, I noticed that
in fifth gear on the freeway, there is a vibration.  Like a groan or a moan.
 Only in fifth.

Could your shift linkage be touching the exhaust system in 5th?  It's a long
shot, but a maybe.  Put it on a left and run it in gear and see what it
looks like...
