When the clutch pedal is up, idling in neutral the gearbox is effectively engaged causing the faulty bearing or whatever the fault is to make the rattling, soft knocking sound.
When the clutch pedal is pressed down the gearbox is effectively disengaged and the noise disappeared.
Try to get the information what it was. The gearbox is not turning while in neutral. Therefore it's strange what could make the sounds. Only the clutch disk is rotating.
However I'd be very interested in knowing what it was.
Thanks!
Congrats to your wish came true.
Edit: Ahh, never mind. Might be the bearing of the main axle in the gearbox. Not only the clutch. But infos still would be great.
