Any ideas ... troubleshooting a clickety clunk

While driving suddenly developed a new onset cyclical click (or is it a clunk? ... somewhere in between, a hard metallic version of a a baseball card in a bicycle wheel) yesterday. Car drives fine, no vibrations. Hard to discern a location, but more mid/rear not front.

Only occurs when in gear. Increases with speed (rpms?). Seems to sound worst between 2000 - 3000 rpm. When the clutch is engaged or the car is put in neutral the sound DISAPPEARS, even while in motion. The sound does not occur at idle or when i rev engine at idle.

The sound was there for an hour at very low speeds (creeping with no accelerator in 1st gear) and at higher roadway speeds. Then it seemed to go away for an hour. I was pleased. Then it returned for 1/2 hours.

Any ideas?
