Answer
Dave,

the clutch rattle may be the friction
disks. They rattle because of the
gap between them and the clutch
basket slots. It usually doesn't cause
too many problems other than noise.

-there are also rivets on the clutch basket
and gear. These could make noise if loose as well.

-keep an ear on it and if it gets worse
you may want to check out the gear rivets
and the clutch plates and basket for wear.
