2000 TAWS6

I get a rattling sound in any gear as I pass through about 1300-1400 rpm.
Quiet before this range and quiet after this range.
Clutch grabs and performs normally.
Car has 77K miles on it.

Is it the clutch? If so, does it indicating impending doom, or just dont do any 3K launches until its replaced?

If its the clutch, what recommendations can you make for a new one? Daily driver, basically stock (just a lid, perhaps cat back coming).

What would a safety bellhousing run if I need to replace the clutch? (may as well while its off).

Thanks!

My WS6 does it as well however I wouldn't pinpoint the range as being the same as yours, probably a little broader. Mine has had a new clutch and the vibration remained! Logically one would assume that when the clutch is engaged the entire flywheel, pressure plate and clutch plate should behave as one assembly. That said the frequency leads me to believe that it is in the fornt end of the g/box, i.e. input shaft or cluster?

Other possibilites are a pilot bearing or a worn clutch that's just chattering before the pressure plate gets spinning and gets a little extra bite. I'd think if it were in the gear box it'd get worse at high rpms?
