I'm getting a Clicking Noise when I shift from 1st to 2nd most notably and it's really noticable while under very light accel. I did use the search and found out it may be my axles but everyone that seemed to have that issue heard the clicking under heavy load while I hear it under light load mostly? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Could it be a bad TOB? As I believe I got one of the faulty GM TOB's when I put my New clutch in, Whenever I let off the clutch in neutral I can hear the bearings clicking/chattering and then goes away once I push the clutch back in.

Aftermarket clutches chatter if you wanted quiet then you should've went with a gmpp clutch kit, yes they're good for lnf's too. For the clicking I would start with the axles

Sully20

I have had my clutch installed for a while now its not the chatter I know what that sounds like and it stopped chattering a while ago, I LOVE my clutch i'm thinking its either the TOB or maybe the axles, This is a promenant clicking sound that happens when I shift.

Edit* I have had the GMPP before and yes they are awesome but my SPEC holds rediculous and also has stock engagement.

Figured out what the issue was, My right front Half Shaft is totally shot there's so much play that every time I shift or turn the wheel it makes a loud clicking noise, I'm lucky it didnt just fall the F off lol. My left side has some play in it as well, Apparently these are covered by GM's powertrain warranty and is going into the shop on Tuesday, Just a FYI.

wish i could tell ya. i was hearing a clicking noise pretty often at low speeds as well, figured it was my passenger axle so i replaced it... well the click is still there

next time i do my clutch i'm doing it with trained cobalt people because i feel like the shop that put my clutch and everything in didn't do it right. mad tob noise and all that

mine clicks too, but just thought it was part of the shitty car lol

i still have some warranty left, so i might as well use it......

I'll most likely go talk to them tomorrow after i check my axels out....

wish i knew what he ment by they had "play" in them...

yeah idk how to check, like if the cars in the air i can turn the wheels ~1/2 inch before it 'hits'

GreenySC2

right, is that how you check? who knows hah i hope my Dad does, time to put the 30 odd years as a GM master tech to use on the balt....

i doubt it and i don't want to spread any false advice or info, just putting my experience in. hell it could even be my wheel bearings or something which could be bad too haha. or maybe there's supposed to be play idk

GreenySC2

yeah i got you, i'll figure it out when i got the car in the air tomorrow, although OP i would like to know how you check for play in the Axel... pictures possibly if i can get some...

Although side note i did notice my left front hub bearing sounding like it was going out

Sully20

So does mine, Its annyoing lol.

The half shafts are supposed to have some play.

*Edit: My left half shaft is toast as well, Soooo back in the shop she goes lol. Lots of tourqe will make them have a much shorter life span(at least thats what I hear)
