Stick shift?

If so, you have essentially the same transmission that I have.  Mine
rattled like the very devil, and I met a lot of other MBs that rattled,
too.  I always put it down to something inherent in the design.  Then
it 'went away' after I had the clutch done, and after 40000 more miles,
I think it's coming back very slowly.
