I hear a clicking noise at take off after releasing clutch like when the engine "rocks" it comes from the driver side. I hear it mostly like if its near the suspension or something I'm not sure. It mostly happens on take off between 1st and 2nd gear. I took the car to the dealer for a break job and told them about it they say they replaced a bushing on the clutch that was hitting the master cylinder.

The noise is still happening...any idea what it is? I do have NM springs on stock shocks.

For example lol:
Clutch..first...accelerate..remove clutch...car is moving...tick...clutch second...remove clutch... tick..

 

Do you have a big key chain?

 

Nope no key chain. At first the service advisor said maybe a motor mount but I don't know if they even checked that.

 

Does it happen only with movement of the vehicle or the clutch pedal? i would say feel around your engine bay after it is warm(heat expands parts)/ and cold and wiggle stuff around to see if you can replicate the issue. Any modifications?


have a friend walk next to you in an open space with the hood up and replicate it to see if you can narrow an area of where its coming and go from there also.

 

Nope not the pedal it's when the car is moving and not really when moving slow. I will try later to see if I can wiggle anything around.

 

if its a mount you can accell and decell rapidly and you should get the sound, if its only "while" changing gear check the arm of the clutch(engine bay) to make sure its not hitting something.

 

Yea it's mostly when accelerating and decelerating. Thats why I thought it was the motor mount and they were supposed to check it but they mustve taken the easy way out and changed the bearing or bushing on the clutch. Is that noise a symptom for a bad motor mount?

 

A "click" is not narrowed down enough, there are tons of things that can go"click". Try going from left to right sharply, stopping hard, does it happen cold or hot? pull all rattling things inside the car in one place(coins, boxes pens etc...).

 

It doesn't happen while turning hard left or right but on a fast take off it does. I really doubt it's anything inside the car it's clearly coming from something on the driver side either suspension or engine bay. It doesn't happen on bumps. I put it in second and accelerated hard over and over it happened everytime. I have no idea.

 

airbox loose? wiggle things around if it were suspension you would get the feedback of any travel(bumps, changes in clearance). check the reservior tank to make sure its tightly fitted, fuse box in the engine, all the peripherals on the driver side

 

I really appreciate all your help. I still can not figure this noise out i think i'm going to try the dealer again. everything is tight and now i put a stratmosphere exhaust and the clicking noise seems to be a little bit louder. now when going into third after i remove the clutch i hear it before it was only after second...i have no idea lol!!
