Default Rattling transmission

Hey friends
I've noticed that my 1989 5.0 transmission rattles after 2500 rpm.
Since this is my first manual car I have no idea why it rattles.
I'm going to take my stang to the mechanic tomorrow,but I would like to hear your opinions before. Does that has happened to any of you before?
Could it be that something is loose? maybe the differential or the clutch?

Any help wouild be greatlty appreciated

Default RE: Rattling transmission

Same thing happened to me. Turned out that my driveshaft was out of balance. I tried changing my U joints first but that was just a waste of money. I put a Ford racing aluminum driveshaft on and she's as smooth as silk now. Summit has the driveshafts for the best price I've seen.

later
