5Liter Import Eater

There is a loud ticking sound coming from underneath sounds like it could b in the tranny. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? i just got a new clutch installed a few weeks ago and full exaust was installed last week. The sound just started yesterday. u can hear it ticking quietly at idle but as soon as i hit the gas it gets louder even when im not accelerating. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything but i know it shouldnt be there. Any suggestions will help Thanks

is it ticking or chirping? if chirping it could be your throwout bearing

well, since u asked about the tranny... does it make the noise when revved in neutral?? sounds like exhaust to me tho. my 87 sounded like a choo choo train to my lil sister and her friends :-D

My car makes the same noise because the factory exhaust leaks. It sounds like a ticking and when I turn the car off it sounds like a metalic tick.
