My transmission makes a rattle noise in low rev range when engine breaking. It's normal. I drove a gt3 rs yesterday and that did the same

What year?

Probably clutch Buzz if you are still rocking OEM. At 80k miles, I hope not.
Could've had a new clutch swapped in that was pre-TSB?

Depending on how loud, could be just normal trani rattle.
