new to forum clicking noise under hood
i'm new to forum. i bought new crossfire limited roadster '06 two months ago love the car. in first gear or reverse clunking noise not real loud but its there is this normal. my last car was an '04 mazda rx8 6 speed. the rx8 didn't seem any faster than the xfire. in fact the rx8 had no low end torque. i would really have to beat it to get it to move 8,000 rpm or more 9,000 redline. my point is that during my normal sort of fast driving the xfire is quicker but i'm not a drag racer type.

Re: new to forum clicking noise under hood
Okay, now I got you...mine does that sometimes if I'm lazy on the clutch. If you don't disengage the clutch quick enough you will get a clunk for sure. It takes a while to get used to shifting this thing...after more 'seat time' you will get it figured out.

i don't think so, it happens while car is in gear. it's not real loud but i tend to notice everything. it sounds like drive shaft klunk but is definitely coming from the front the car. is under warranty but i'm afraid of dealer mechanics unless absolutely no choice. had bad experiences with vw service, mazda service, most can't work clean. had a jeep same chrysler same.
