Angry Stang is making noise--I need advice

Hey all,
My mustang has a nasty rattle going on anytime I rev the car up. It is coming from the transmission on the drivers side. I even have it rattle when the rpm is low and the clutch isn't in. When I push the clutch in the noise goes away.

I climbed under my car and I believe the noise is coming from the bellhousing. I'm not sure what would cause the rattle I'm hearing but it has to do with the clutch.

Since I drive the car daily I don't want to yank the tranny just to find out that my problem is something I can't just go and buy at the parts store. So if any of you have had this noise or have a good idea of what would make a loud rattle inside the bellhousing then speak up please.
Thanks

Damn it sounds like I need a new t/o bearing.

My own damn fault for using the one that came with the clutch. I know napa sells the metal one and I should have just bought one instead of the plastic lined crap that spec sent with the clutch.
Thanks for the imput.
