That's your proof the disc is still dragging. The whirring sound is most likely gear noise from the input shaft spinning down to a stop when you engage a gear; it stops because the output shaft is stopped. I can't remember exactly how the 86 tranny is designed, but it may be the gears between the input and intermediate shafts that will spin with the engine when the clutch is engaged in neutral.
Ive been doing some searching, and seems like lubing the input shaft splines is debated. yes, no, sometimes, never...
