I need help with this asap, supposed to be driving to Texas in a few weeks and I don't want to break down on the way!
A few weeks ago I got this ticking noise coming from what I thought was my exhaust. It started off really quiet but as time passed it got louder.
Well about a week after it started I burned my clutch, don't ask how, I was a dumb ass lol, and learned that it wasn't my exhaust like I thought. I could start my car and the noise was gone. So I figured okay yeah, it was a bad throw out bearing.
Well I replaced my clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and flywheel. Started my car, sounded fine. Drove around town for a bit, no noise. Got in my car to leave for New Orleans, and on the way there my tick started back up.
A friend said he had the same problem and it ended up being lose at the end of his exhaust manifold.
Also as you can tell from the video the higher the rpm the faster the tick
