Hi Angelqute1
From my experience with manual transmissions (having blow out more than 10 of them in the past). I would have them fix the problem. A sound such as that is something that isn't meshing properly in the box and possibly a chipped gear (not totally broken, but chipped). On each revolution of the gear it comes to the bad one and there is a knock and the knock varies with the speed you are going. If you are accelerating it increases and the reverse if you are decelerating. I could also be one of the sycromesh rings with a similar problem.
All inside the transmission of course. There are a few other things in the drivetrain that can produce similar symptoms including the rear differential but the sound would be somewhat different.
That's another reason I got the automatic..I can't trust myself not to speed shift (even at my age). That's how I blew my transmissions, I'm sure you weren't doing that with your baby..Ventura Blvd isn't a good place for that anyway (too many signals)
One more thing..It could be the clutch throwout bearing or pressure plate, but those should last a long time.
Not to worry though, it's probably just a screw loose.
