Howdy all, just curious if any one knows what this noise is.
The clutch is out and its idling and its like a rattle but its not the thrust bearing, could it be the main bearings on the input shaft or the cluster rattling??

Most likely the input shaft, the 33/Sud has a 2 pice jobbie held together by a sleve and a pair of pins. These things have a bit of slop in them. You can get rid of the noise if you pull the input shaft out of the box, and pack the gap with a bit of rubber.......

If not then it could be the other things you mentioned
