Need help diagnosing noise

Hi all, first post here. Will post in about me forum this evening, hoping to get some knowledgeable feedback and diagnosis here, other forums have proven somewhat lacking in knowledgeable people 😣

So my Rx 8 has this knocking noise, about 1/3rd of engine revs at any time. Becomes quiter as revs increase, no surprise there.

The clutch is slipping, as I recently brought it I have no more info really. New clutch arriving today due to fit tomorrow.

Thoughts on this just being the failing clutch? I have suspicions but want to offer this up as a blind post.

Hoping to hear back from some experienced rotary heads!

Regards

Charlie
