Tranny, transfer case, driveshaft, clutch, exhaust. With your info, those are your choices.
You should pinpoint a section that the noise is coming from. I.e. get under the car while its on. And what your car is doing when you hear that sound.

the only problem with that is i only hear that sound when im driving slow n it comes and goes its not a continuous sound. another thing is in the morning when i start my car it makes a really loud rattling noise as my rpms come down to idle.

Does the sound go away when you press the clutch? Or does pressing the clutch change the sound? Could be your throwout bearing.

I had something like that happen once. Turned out to be an exhaust hanger pulling loose.

I used a hose clamp to keep it from getting worse, then took to a muffler shop the next morning.

$15.00, 20 minutes, problem fixed.
