the rattle is becuase the new flywheel is....
a single mass flywheel and it will not damp the noise like a dual mass flywheel does. Which is one of the reasons that they use a dual mass flywheel. it does chatter when you engage the clutch which is somethign different and that is because the clutch material is not organic and it does not slip like an organic composed clutch would. A AWE DTS will not solve either problem. Nice looking car by the way.

I understand why it is rattling. When I put my finger on the transmission, the rattling disappears. So I was wondering if anyone has done anything to absorb the extra vibrations transmitted to the tranny because of the aluminum flywheel.

The flywheel takes the load just fine. It has nothing to do with the load on the flywheel.
The weight of the flywheel has nothing to do with the amount of load it can handle. people use light flywheels on cars that have much more power than ours. I haven't had any problem with my flywheel and my stage 3. If anything it would be the clutch that wouldnt handle the load.
