I wouldn't run it like that for long, but for diagnostic purposes I'd poke around with a stethoscope and try to narrow down where it's coming from. It doesn't sound like a rod knock or piston issue to me, though.
If it is indeed coming from the bell housing, it could be that a loose clutch bolt or spring broke off and it's rattling around in there much like something in the dryer.
