Put a Strange 12 bolt and new clutch in about a year ago but I just got back from a 8 month deployment and remembered that when I got my car back from the shop last year I noticed these problems so I'm trying to fix them now
When making slow turns with car out of gear (or clutch pushed in) I hear a constant "click... click.. click click..." coming from the back half of my car. Doesn't seem to make the noise when I am making slow parking lot type turns and the car is in gear but could just be from noise from the exhaust I do not notice it. Anyway, I looked underneath the girdle of the rear yesterday and noticed some oil collecting on the bottom so there is a leak there, wondering if that would cause the "click"
Second problem, probably unrelated, is that my clutch pedal has a click feel to it about halfway through its throw. Clutch is smoothe all other parts of the cycle and engages fine but wondering what the click would be from, and if it is serious or not. Linkage maybe?
One last thing I just changed commands to the Charleston, SC area and have no tools and no mechanics I know personally so any suggestions on how to get these problems fixed? There is a Midas close by I was thinking of dropping it off at since it is not worth it for me to buy tools since I'm only here for 3 more months.
Thanks
