rattle noise between gear shifts

i have another rather unnerving noise coming from my 900T.
when shifting between gears (putting clutch in) at around 2500 rpm or higher there is a momentary rattling sound from the engine area.
the nosie tends to come and go depending on load and acceleration differences.
my first guess is a failing throw-out bearing (AKA release bearing) from the clutch assembly. what is another way to confirm/disconfirm this?
i have not yet ruled out valve noise or timing chain slack nosie, but because there is no obviouse engine rattle sounds at idle or when i rev it at a stand still and it only seams to do it at higher RPMs while shifting.
however, on cold start ups I get another violent rattling from the engine area that disappears almost immediately after the engine starts running. should i be worried about valve trane or throw-out bearing?
