In the first instance I would want to listen closely to each element of the drive train in the absence of engine noise, so would put the rear axle up on axle stands and then turn the engine over on the starting handle, after removing the plugs so you're not fighting compression, and try all the permutations of clutch and gears to see if you can decide on the source of the noise. Dropping one rear wheel to the ground, chocking it, and then turning the other would allow you to rotate everything from the propshaft side of the gearbox.
PS disconnect the inlet to the fuel pump before turning over.
