Umm my 96 mustang GT is starting to make a noise, im not to sure of wut it is , i get the noise at about 1,500 rpms after shifting from 1st to 2nd or from 2nd to 3rd and its like a loud click, im not sure of wut it is i thought it could be the pressure plate in the clutch or the u-joint, if any1 has any ideas on wut it can be please let me know

Does it do it when you go from rolling forward to rolling backwards or just at a certain rpm in a forward gear?

I had a very similar problem and it turned out to be a u-joint. I'd say start with that, u-joints are cheap enough, most likely will be the cure...yea, when the u-joint was bad in mine, it would click like you said, and it got progessively louder as I accelerated. Also noticed when I accelerate harder rather than slower, it would worsen the noise. I really thought it was my throw out bearing or something to do with the clutch, but lucky just a bad u-joint.

it happens when im rolling fowards like once i give the car gas after letting the clutch out in a certian gear, the clutch on the car is fine im gonna take a look at the u-joint today and hopefully its that, thanks

Why are you shifting at 1500 rpms....that's the problem. Ford's have a 'loose' drive train, shift above 2,000 rpms and it won't happen anymore.

no i shift over 2,000 and it drops to 1,500 and thats when it makes it ... i found out wut it was tho, its the exhaust like nicking the drive shaft... time for some new exhaust

Odd, never heard of that happening.

Are you sure it's the exhaust? I'd still check the U-joints. Mine does the same thing, it clicks when I let out the clutch and give it throttle, and I assume it's the U-joints. Just haven't gotten around to replacing them yet. Check to be sure because U-joints are a lot cheaper than a new exhaust.

i threw my car up on the lift and the u-joints are fine on it, owell just a good excuse to get new exhaust instead of using my stock exhaust haha

I had that happen on one of my cars and it turned out to be a tire sperrating. you may want to check your tires.

Just a thought G'luck
