Almost always in first, and sometimes into second, there is a nasty rattle coming from the under the hood. I don't know if it's clutch related, or if it's a heat shield or what, but if anyone else has had or heard of this problem and has suggestions, I'm listening. This noise makes me feel like the car is gonna fall apart.

Heya bone stock z , Does it sound like it making a sound from near youre drivers side front tire area?. I had a nasty rattle sound coming from their, It turned out to be my exhaust heat shield was loose. I just cut it out of their No more noise.
Good Luck.
If it's a high sounding metal rattle it's more then likely heat sheild. If it's a deeper sharper metal rattle it's something else. Almost always heat sheilds on these american econo cars.

Im betting the heat shield as well, my sister's 96 Lumina was like that, every time you start it...it would rattle. Turned out to be a rusted heat shield, fixed it and never rattled again.
