If you have ACE check the pipes and valve block to be tight enough cos they can make strange sound which can be tricky. If no ACE i have no ideea

Doesn't sound to me like anything inside the transmission, so have a really good look around at anything that can be touching anything else.
Best of luck!

Or the rubber split or otherwise come off?
Could also be a protective plate of some kind, heatshield or summat.

Maybe time to get the stethoscope on and use a more specific search method to locate it more exactly.

Did you discover the source/solution? I have a similar noise that I am assuming to be coming from the transmission.

Does the rattle change if you dip the clutch, stick it in gear and let the clutch out until it bites..... sounds like something is loose inside the bell housing, or on the clutch slave pin.....
