Transmission-related rattle at idle

Hi all--

163,828 mile 03 MCS with a disconcerting development. I get a low-pitched rattle at idle that goes away when the clutch is engaged, and will stay away (at least for a little while) so long as you let the clutch out verrrrrrrrrrrry sloooooowwwwwwwwwwwly.

Thoughts?

Throwout bearing rattle....when the clutch is replaced you get a new one...
Common on mini's...it is a hunk if plastic with a metal cover...
