The torsional damper plate that sits between the flywheel and transmission may be what you are hearing, especially if it goes away as soon as you pick up rpm’s. They will do this if a spring has failed or if the engine has developed a slight miss which is the more likely scenario. I’ve changed plates thinking they were bad only to discover a random misfire was causing the thing to clunk at idle.
