not really sure what is ticking. the noise is definitely coming from underneath the car (2000 GT). coincidently, i noticed the noise after we re-done some exhaust work. i got a pypes o/r x pipe and learned after it was installed, it was installed incorrectly. the drivers side manifold studs have to be taken out and replaced with different ones ( so says pypes ) to allow for a good seal. after taking out the exhaust and re installing it correctly, i noticed this. now, i know what your thinking - its obviously the exhaust. well, i thought so too but after having the car up on a lift with it running, we could not find any leaks. the noise is coming from underneath the car tho. it oddly sounds like its coming from the transmission (stock 5 speed). is this possible? if so, what is it that could be making noise? it does it in neutral and in gear also. my throwout bearing has also been chirping ever since i bought the car and im pretty sure its the original clutch, tob, etc. car shifts just fine, no grinds or problems. could the clutch be ticking?
also to ease my mind, if i was experiencing a spark plug that was trying to blow out wouldnt i hear it more so from the top of the motor rather than underneath?
