Norman,

This could possibly be a dying CV joint.  Sometimes
they get noisy under load, which may explain why
you're not hearing the noise when you depress the
clutch.

Good luck,

-------------------
My 1983.5 water cooled 1.9L Camper developed a regular
progressively
louder
knocking and vibration emanating from the vicinity of
the left rear
wheel.
Which disappeared when depressing the clutch pedal and
was not a
permanent
ailment.  A close look at that wheel assembly and down
through the
engine
access area revealed no obvious complaint.  Any
suggestions as to where
I
might look to find the source of this issue?
