Hey guys, I have a 96 GT with about 100,000 miles on it. Recently I have noticed a rattling sound coming from the tranny area when I am accelerating. If I jump on the throttle it sounds terrible, but I feather it, you can't heard anything. Also, from start, when I realease the clutch, sometimes, it makes a very noticeable cracking sound, almost like something is sloppy and banging together when engaged. Anyway, I kind of figure I'm into clutch problems, but figured someone may have experienced this aswell!
 
OK, did a little more reading around the forum, sounds like I am experiencing the same problem alot of guys have. Seems everyone is talking TOB. Anyone think this is possible?

Also, The ticking/rattling noise is noticeable worse when the car is cold....after a short run, it seems to die down, if not disappear. Also, have noticed a groaning noise sometimes when I push on the clutch pedal.

Anyway, I'm not sure whats going on, but, anyones input would be great.
