[Roadsters] clicking noise with clutch

[Hoon Kim]

so more info on further testing.

When I am in neutral or when the clutch is down, there is no noise.
When I release the clutch into 1st, there is a clicking noise that  
matches the movement of the car. This noise is repeated in 2nd and  
3rd gear.
When I have forward momentum and I take my foot off the gas, but  
still in gear, the noise goes away. I comes back as soon as I press  
the accelerator.
Now the weird thing is that there is NO noise in 4th gear at all. I  
did it when going very fast with hard wear on the engine and when on  
the freeway.

Any further guesses?

thanks for all the help so far.
