Hey guys, I need a couple ideas of what could be going on with my 89 GT right now . . .
Bit of background - know it needs rack and pinion replacement for a leaking rack, steering is noisy and not its best right now. (gets better when I put a bit more fluid in, but not perfect and gets worse over time). I have had the car for 8 or 9 months, got it from a guy who seemed mostly honest but did not know a lot about what was going on with the car, and since then have had do have a few things done (replaced starter, battery and clutch cable quadrant) the vacuum hoses are leaking, and the clutch needs a bit of work.
I noticed this morning that when it is in 5th and I give it some gas, I hear a regular sort of clicking or clunking, which seems to be proportional to the rev speed. It is not a loud sound, and the car is pretty loud, so it is a hard to hear, but I can hear it distinctly when I am accelerating in gear. If I take it out of gear and rev it, nothing, and I cannot tell if it happens in 3rd or 4th, but I did hear it in 2nd.
Any ideas ? Next stop call Click and Clack ?
