clicking when i let off the gas
« on: 08 September 2011, 08:30 »
morning all just got back from my hols and gone to use my car ,problem being when i drive it its seems ok but when i let off the accelerator it makes what seems like a clicking noise,i'm thinking the gearbox could posssiblly be on its way out as it seems to be coming from around that area but havent had a proper look yet,just to add it did start clicking in reverse a while back ,presuming there both related,any help really appreciated  thx,brett

Clicking?
