Default Heat shield rattling??????

I have a 98 Roadster, 6 speed, 25K miles. After car warms up, when starting from a dead stop, I get a rattling sound until I hit about 1,500 rpm. Don't hear it in any other gear. Sounds like a loose heat shield, but only rattles in first gear??? Doesn't happen when car is cold. Anyone out there have ideas on what this could be?????? Thanks.....

It's actually in the tranny itself. I had a '94 Trans Am GT that did the same thing.

Annoying but just part of the car.

Not the same sound in my car.... It has to be something else my whole car shakes more than stock from the cam. I will go under it and find out soon. Inspection sticker is out on the first

Guys,
This sound is not coming from the trans. Sounds like it's coming from under the hood. Any other comments appreciated..... Thanks.....
