Default Got a drivetrain noise......Look inside!!

Okay, I just noticed this tonight. I am getting a chattering sound from somewhere in the driveline. It is definitely not coming from the engine but I can not isolate it anymore than that. It only occurs when the clutch is out, as in, driveline engaged and spinning. It is more prominent in neutral but I think it also occurs when in gear. I dont know if it might be my differential, or a bearing somewhere...? The car has ~113K on it but it has never been tracked and, as of recently, has been driven extremely softly just cause of gas costs Anybody with ideas???

I really hope not as I just replaced that not more than 2K miles ago. I think I am going to put it up on the lift tomorrow and see if I can isolate it to a specific part. I suppose thats the only real way to see exactly what it is.
