Before I start, I'd like to say: "Yes, I did search. Unfortunately, I've only found one topic with a similar noise."
So last night, while driving someone home, my transmission developed this ticking (clicking, popping?) sound. It starts above 1200RPMs at random RPMs, but does not matter what gear it is in. As long as the car is in motion, the sound is present. Whether or not the clutch is engaged, it is there. Turning does not affect the sound, but the faster you go, the less annoyance there is. It will only go away when I am stopped. It did seem louder in reverse just a bit ago. The sound is also right around where the shifter/boot would be.
The only thing I can think of is the cause being from the knife that someone dropped behind the dashboard, or my uneven tires (wear matches on both fronts and both rears with the rears being the lower tread).
Could anyone give me possible insights of what's going on before I just decide to sell this car?![]()
