All mounts are brand new as of a month ago.

Pulley has 3 belts, one for alternator, one for A/C, one for P/S - all attached and working.

Exhaust is on hangars and they look ok. The sound doesn't seem to be coming from any exhaust rattle, but I'll check it out next time I have the car up on ramps for anything touching. About 6 months ago I put a flex pipe in just after the header, the previous owner had just run a straight pipe from header to muffler.

Come to think of it, I do hear a kinda similar-ish rattling on occasion when at a stoplight, and pushing on the stick lightly makes it go away. How difficult/expensive is an input shaft bearing, and is it safe to let it go for a while?
