    Click click from shifter area help! UPDATED WITH FIX, WTF?

    So everything was ok less some rub in the rear. I was too lazy to lift it and work on it so i went to this tire place to have them lift the car and rotate the spacers. 15s for the rear and 20s to the front so it wont rub anymore, everything went ok till i backed up from the lift and engaged 1st. I started to hear Click click click from the shifter area, the more i accelerate the faster the sound. It wont do it on reverse though so my theory is that it has to do with the guibo rubbing against the shifter or selector rod or something there. If thats the case whats the possible fix? I assume that the fuckin lift hit and pressed on the tranny mounts bracket and kinda lifted it a bit?

    Thanks for taking your time and look, the fix was actually and i dont explain to myself why, the bolts of the 15mm spacers of the left rear wheel were rubbing against whatever is inside the hub. I took the spacers off till i have the chance to grind a bit of it, it is actually like 1mm. Has this happened to anyone before? Echo tricks anyone, it sounded in the tunnel.

    I've had that sound before, it was the tranny mounts. Although my click click usually happened when I took my foot off the gas and coasted. Still, you might want to check the mounts out.

      ^^^^ its not kinda rattling sound, its something rubbing with something upon turning.

        Its your shifter plate resting on your front driveshaft/guibo. One of the bushings broke or became loose. Pm me for details on the replace.

        Id suggest replacing all shifter bushings (and a shorter lever while your at it). Not an expensive job $100< if you source the right prices.

        its just slightly tedious i.e. dropping the front drive shaft and removing all bitch clips that retain the shifter rod. If you dont tend to it, the clicking will eventually get worse.
