I haven't had a chance to do a further analysis since moving it to another garage. Hope to play with it today. I guess you could call it a tick or clicking noise and it does occur while the car is at idle. It does seem to coming from under the car somewhere around the lower part of the firewall or trans tunnel. Goes away on excelleration. Car shifts smoothly pulls strong but at idle there did seem to be some vibration of the motor. Motor or trans mounts maybe? Like said though I put me ear to the clutch pedal while at idle and it really magnified the sound..I know that's not conventional mechanics diagnostics but sure was noisy.
