Yep, transmission oil level is the first thing to check.  You can also
start the engine with the transmission in neutral and the clutch pedal
fully depressed.  Then release the clutch.  If the noise starts and is
worse as the engine is reved up, you know it's coming from the
transmission.  Good luck.  Al
