clicking sound at low speed?

Doesn't seem to happen if the clutch is disengaged or the car in neutral. I read about rear axle problems, but the sound seems to be coming from the engine bay, not the back of the car.

Could it be that the springs in the clutch disc are weak and cause the two halves of the disc's hub to bang against each other when torque is loaded and unloaded?
