quick update ... it seems pretty intermittent ... there was no sound at all this morning (cold start followed by 10 min drive).

all very good ideas, but sure about the interaction of these noises with the clutch (eg why would a loose brake cable sound go away when I engaged the clutch?). Pretty sure its not IMS ... sound is way too slow when I am creeping along (like one click every 2 or 3 seconds). And its just not there at all at idle. My first initial impression (which might be quite wrong, I was in the drivers seat) was that the sound was coming from the right rear wheel well.

Was wondering about the tranny mount??? ... otherwise can't figure out what that could be if engaging the clutch (or coasting in neutral) takes the sound away?
