5speed-70K miles Started driving this AM with no problems, about 3 miles down the road, I'm cruising down the off ramp and something feels off. Like a slight vibration/ticking noise and it was speed dependent, slower I go the slower the sound. Drove around for lunch and it's worse. It almost goes completely away with clutch engagement but only with acceleration or deceleration. If I'm coasting down below 2500RPM's with clutch engaged it still does it.
If I go from a stop it starts when I let out the clutch and shift to second, but when I accelerate in 2nd it dies down. If I'm cruising in 2nd it still does it. If I push in the clutch it's worse. Then if I decelerate, from 3rd to 2nd, it gets quiet untill a slower RPM in while still in second and then it gets louder. A few times it was quieter under somewhate hard braking.
I thought TOB but that's usually described as squeaking. I checked tires for rocks or debris in them. I don't think it's a spark plug because it doesn't do it sitting still or when reved. I recently broke a front wheel stud but that was on the passenger side and this sounds like it's either directly underneath the car or on drivers side. No lectures :looking in KT's direction:, fixing the wheel stud this weekend. I'll have time to look it over more after work but just wanted some suggestions on what to check.
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
