05 RX-1 Rattle under the hood

[Bulldog58]

I have a an 05 RX-1 and I just staryed hearing a rattle under the hood near the drive belt when idling. Rev it up it goes away. I can't find anything that is obviously loose. Could it be clutch? Sled is running fine otherwise.

yea its your clutch or toolbox rattling.

I havd checked the toolbox so if its the clutch, what does that mean? Rebuild, replace?

Its the gears in the gear reducer behind the clutch. If you increase the idle a little bit it stops. I think about 1,500rpm works.
