Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hearing two symptoms, and wonder if they might be related:
1) Every now and then when I move the shifter to change gears, I hear a clunking / clicking sound towards the back of the car (this is happening while the clutch pedal is fully depressed).
2) While in neutral, if I press the clutch pedal in, then release it quickly all the way out, I'll hear a ticking at idle (towards the rear of the car). If I depress it again, and slowly let it out, the ticking goes away (the ticking also stops any time the clutch pedal is depressed).
I tried capturing a video w/ audio, but it's a bit hard to make out. If it would be helpful, I can try to capture a better one.
Any thoughts what might cause this? Wondering if possibly the shifter cable connectors in the back might have a little play, but just a guess. Any guidance is appreciated -- thanks!
Or even the pressure plate. The dual mass plates make noise and vibes when they start to fail. Sounds like its time to drop the trans and get in there.
He probably did,.......or since it has been 4 YEARS .....IT found HIM ......
Like so many, he came here and asked questions without giving background or video/audio , then got some feedback and moved on, forgetting about this thread.......
Apparently so. When I took it to the indie..he was convinced it was going to be clutch release bearing or flywheel. He was pretty suprised that the springs had completely failed on friction plate. Said he only seen it once on a road car previously.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
