Transmission chatter

Hi all my 1991 Elan SE with 107000 miles on the clock has got a chattering from the transmission at idle that goes when the clutch is depressed. Is this normal as i dont recall hearing it before. The car has no service history .

 

Thank Clive

Just had similar on my Esprit. Noise completely goes when clutch is pressed.  Long story but a different gearbox is now in the car but with original clutch and thrust bearing and running fine.  Gearbox was found to have wear but nothing too bad.  Have had it rebuilt and actually got it back today.  I will change them over in November and hope the problem is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to be sure check crank end float.  With clutch pressed there is pressure applied and so could have an affect.
