Hi all, this is my first post so I apologize if I make a mistake here.

I have a 2013 2SS M6 equipped with the factory Hurst shifter that I'm getting weird noises from. I bought the car recently with only 13k miles and have put 4k on it. When I first bought it, I noticed a rattle coming from the bellhousing area that started at about 2k RPM, got louder and faster with higher speed, and went away (or maybe the exhaust got too loud to hear it) after 4k RPM. After doing a few 2nd and 3rd gear pulls, the noise is starting at lower and lower RPM.

It's not a throwout bearing, as it does it while I'm driving with the clutch pedal out. I thought an input shaft bearing, but surely even if the car was driven hard, 14k miles is way too soon for an input shaft bearing to go out. Now I'm thinking it's something wrong with the clutch. When I'm shifting from 1st to 2nd at low speed like in a parking lot, I hear a loud rattle if I press the clutch too quickly. I know that's a common issue, but adds to my hypothesis of some kind of clutch problem.

What do you guys think? I didn't find anything by searching here or Google.
