Edit: I just played crbn_fbr's video (post 18). I have never heard this clattering sound on my Z. I did on my 350, but only after putting in a lightweight flywheel.
I have the same noise as well, but only after the car is warm.
If you have not heard it: after driving around for a while, try parking your car PARALLEL close to a solid wall or a solid fence. Restart the car, open both windows and put it into first or reverse and try to go forward or reverse slowly while letting out the clutch. you should be able to hear the noise.
