loud metal tapping when down shifting?

[MIKE1stcamv6]

what up guys. my 1999 cam m5 is makeing a pretty loud noise when i down shift from 4th to 3rd and slowing down. it sounds like If you took empty cans and hit them with a spoon or something. the sound come's from the center (outside) of the car under the area behind the shifter and cup holder where you would rest your arm.

could it be my trans mount???
