new clutch rattling

Hello everyone. New to the forum so I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong section.

So to start I have an 05 6 speed g35. I just the replaced the clutch with an OEM clutch from Napa auto parts. My old one wasn't completely destroyed like others I've seen on here but it was burned out pretty good to where I couldn't catch gears until about 3-4 rpm. I did stick with the dual mass flywheel and took forever to find someone to resurface it in the Dallas/ft. Worth area but I found someone and they did a pretty good job at it. Ran into a couple problems here and there but got everything in checked it once, twice and three times before mounting up the transmission again. I'm at about 130 miles into the new clutch. Has been shifting smoothly no problems although it is taking some getting used to because this new clutch is pretty "grabby" so I have stalled it a couple times. In 1st and reverse. Now that you know all you can about my car let me give you my reason for this thread. Since I put this new clutch in I've noticed it makes like a rattling noise while the car is driving. It doesn't make it in neutral or when clutch is engaged only while I'm driving. Since the clutch is new I don't drive it over 4 rpm and this noise, when I hear it, starts at about 3rpm. Its not there all the time most the time only when its cooled down. Has anyone else had this "rattling" sound with a new clutch? Is it normal or something I should be worried about? Maybe I installed something incorrectly? Someone please help?

You sure it's the clutch and not the exhaust? Or maybe you didn't tighten something when installing your clutch.

Hmmm I never thought of it being the exhaust. And im sure I torqued and tighten everything down to the correct specs. My check engine light came on and i have to get under there and check my crankshaft sensor so I will take a look at the exhaust while I'm down there.
