Hi Pete,
Thank you for waiting.
Can you test the issue further, start the engine and try to press the clutch and see if the rattling sound will go away. Let me know the result of the testing.

Its an auto
I see. Looks like the rattling sounds is coming from the DMF (Dual Mass Flywheel) or Flexplate for Automatic transmission. Can you verify if this is sound that you are hearing on your vehicle.
