Since you get the rattling with the car stationary that should rule out a drive shaft problem.
I think the culprit is the clutch release bearing,(the small part in the pic.) Attachment 70887
unfortunately this means a complete clutch job, the parts won't break the bank but a tranny drop is required.

yes I was told that I need it a new transmission, but today they told me that even replacing the transmission the noise won't go away because what it needs to be replaced is the drive shaft. as I mentioned before I have all documents when I had my car in for that noise (couple times)and they told me it was normal. right now I am on cpo.. so hopefully they agree to replaced under those circumstances..

Because if it's still there when the car is stopped the it can't be the drive shaft as that only turns when the car is in motion and would be there even if the engine is off......say like coasting down hill in neutral.

Let get something clear, do you have the noise when the car is stationary, or when you are moving?
