So I just bought the car 5 days ago and this started happening last night. I pulled into the garage and heard a strange tick tick tick, thought maybe it was the injectors, but when i press the clutch in it stops. So it is obviously not injector tick, nor timing chain tick..... This is my 1st speed 6 so I am not very familiar with the drive train yet. Ticking increases with engine rpm but goes away with the clutch pressed down at any rpm. It's quite loud and steady. Has anyone come across this before?? I've searched around and can only find posts related to the timing chain, a/c, and injectors.... The tick stopping when the clutch is depressed leads me to believe it is a clutch issue. pilot bearing, loose pressure plate etc.. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
