Any Ideas (95 90S)

[Brian Raymond]

I have been battling a mysterious noise for months now. I have had it in the
garage three times now hoping the mechanics can nail it down (Park Porsche
Audi. Lawerence MA) and I'm getting tired of dishing out $65 an hour and
coming out not knowing what is causing it. I'm hoping anyone can give me a
lead or two.

The noise is coming from the front left of the car, either the left side of
the engine itself or possibly the wheel. It is a very loud clicking that
only happens when the car wants to shift, between 2K-3K RPMs. It is an
automatic so for the most part the harder I accelerate the louder and longer
it last because it takes longer before it shifts. If I put it in a gear and
leave it there be it 1-3 it will keep making the noise. The mechanic told me
he couldn't get it to happen when the car was on the lift. All he heard was
something that he said was because of cheap gas. He was shocked when I told
him all I have ever put in it was 93. Anyway I'm looking for any ideas that
anyone has because I'm stumped and don't know what to do about it.

Thanks,

Brian
