Asked by Blizzado Sep 03, 2021 at 01:29 PM about the 2002 Ford Mustang Coupe

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

i just got a 2002 ford mustang at a hell of a deal just needs some work.
picked it up as a project car to tinker on. its a v6 3.8l 5 speed  and i noticed
that while car is in gear it has a clicking noise that occurs while driving or in
nuetral. but when i push in the clutch the noise is gone and when i apply
throttle while the clutch is pushed there is no clicking noise. so im rulling out
head related knocking. but am looking for a road to travel down. im thinking it
might have something to do with trans but it doesnt seem to slip or have
problems shifting. any help is most appreciated.
