Hey fellas, I need your help with diagnosing a mysterious noise that has bothering me for quite some time now. It sounds almost like a bell ringing between 1 and 3 times, depending on the circumstances. When I shift, it makes a metal on metal "clinking" sound. My friend and I were trying to figure it out and what we did was get the car rolling in first gear, pushed the clutch in, and when we moved the shifter is when the *clink* would happen. The crazy part is, after it does it that one time, with the clutch still pushed in, I can move the shifter through every gear with no noise what so ever. I lifted the car up and fiddled around with the driveshaft. There was no play in it at all except for some rotational play (about an inch or less of free rotation) which I figure is probably normal. When I rotate it back and forth, I can recreate the ringing noise fairly well.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as what I can check and report back with? Does anyone know what is going on? How to cure it? All responses are welcome. Thank you
