Still got loud "click". Pls Help!

[DAN00H]

I'd say the 'clunk' noise is more a subframe/mounting issue (as I have a clunk if I let the clutch out quickly between changes, which I have to find & fix), the ratchet sound is more than likely a uni joint.

*BUMP*

My Stagea has the same 'click' noise when loading up the drivetrain, only audible with the windows down.

Just had the RR side caliper & disc off, no obvious signs there, but the pads are still suspected.

All frame & link mounts are secure, I'll climb under the car tonight & see what I can find with a second person helping.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but has anyone solved this? I also have the same issue.

It might not the be same sound, but in mine I get a loud Clack or Click noise when I change gears (can only hear it in the lower changes, where significant masses are exchanged and the engine noise isn't so loud), and also when I am in reverse and play around with the clutch catch point. My mech said it's a ball-headed bolt that sits between two thick wires on the same arm thing as the throw-out bearing.

The thing that makes your problem sound familiar is that some said it happens on gear changes and/or when there is load on the drivetrain, that's exactly when mine occurs (e.g. a clumsy change will also show it up fairly obviously).

But the sound I hear is most definitely from the gearbox/clutch area, so like I said, might not be the same. My clutch is getting changed out on Tuesday, so I'll try to get a recording of the sound before then.

Suggestions for where it can be uploaded? (if anyone is interested...)

Issue solved for me, looked like a worn driveshaft on one side.

Replaced with a reconditioned unit. No problems now.
