Default 2005 transmission and Spec clutch installed

Dave and I finished last night, the latest mod to my S, a 2005 AP2 Trans and a new clutch setup
The stage 3 Exedy Hyper single was a little to much for my liking so I sold it off and built a new to me setup.
I got a used Spec light pressure plate (about 3 lbs lighter than stock) off Jcarlton, an OEM flywheel machined to factory specs, and I bought a new OEM clutch disc and bearings from HardTopGuy. I took everything down to Jcarlton for cryo treated
The AP2 trans came from a wreck with 14K miles on it. The fluid was clean and all factory paint marks were in place. The only thing I had to do was change the rear flange on the tail of the trans that the drive/propeller shaft attaches to, the AP2

I never had a trany buzz with my car The transmission was/is as smooth as glass I did however have a slight deceleration buzz with the Exedy clutch but, when I was running the OEM clutch she was very quite and smooth. The Exedy stage 3 setup is very aggressive and made a bit of chatter & buzz.
I did the 05 upgrade for better low end pull and to lower the RPM

OK, yeah we replaced pretty much every part of the clutch in my car and I still have major decel buzz. Now on to the tranny, as that is what it is most likely.

I think that the older cars (00-01) have that problum. I am guessing it is the transmission
My 02 did not have a buzz at all untill I put in the 6 puck clutch but, even with that clutch the buzz was very low and short, not bad.

so does it mean something may be going out, or is it pretty much a normal thing? because my my01 does it pretty bad
