Yes, to be clear though, it's not the flywheel chattering (though I don't think GLImages really meant that it was). One of the main purposes of the dual-mass flywheel is to absorb and soften some of the "lash" in a freewheeling gear cluster in the transaxle. You take that away when moving to a single-mass. It's obviously more noticeable when the gear oil is warm, too.

In my opinion, it's a small price to pay for all the good stuff that comes with the LWFW. In fact after a while, I quit noticing it (though my wife always did, anywhere we'd go in it. Like my old-skool Ducatis with dry clutches; "it sounds like a sewing-machine". hahahaha)
