Rattling noise when idling, from tranny or flywheel?!?

In our 1993 9000 CDE, there is a rattling noise when the car is in idle. It is a hollow metalic clanking sound that seems RPM related, but it does not speed up when pressing the gas, but goes away entirely.
Last night, something happened that may have helped solve the problem.
As I sat in the driveway, the rattling noise was gone if not completely silent while in Park or Neutral, but surfaced in ANY gear, forward or reverse. However, it used to happen in Park, before we brought it to someone who removed the start motor and flywheel and reattached them.
So it seems as if it is gear related.
Anyone have any suggestions, advice?
Key info: - only when Idling (goes way with throttle)
- consistent frequency (i.e. the rattling noise does not change speed)
- recently, only happens when in gear.
Thanks in advance.
