If it's a DMF and it's failing, you'll feel a 'kick back' under your foot from the oscillations of the DMF elements.

Also if you start/switch off can you hear or feel any rattles as the engine fires up or when it shuts off?

Are there any vibrations coming through the car as you accelerate?

Make sure gearbox oil level is ok, it could be a gearbox noise of course.
no kick back ..yea got rattles on start up and stop but its done for a while now ..no vibration on acceleration ...got a piece of wood and had a listen noise is more from the right hand side of gearbox
