WG: [s-cars] First gear noises?

[Bjørn Ødegård]

Possible:
Brake disk/pads (sometimes I get this on my ufos after heavy breaking..)
twig/rock jammed, ABS-sensor, sticky rubber boots, propeller shaft
(bearing/joints)...
Is the noise wheel-rpm or engine-rpm dependant?
Heavy load dependant?
Try to listen to the sound with the door open, to exclude the propeller
shaft or tranny..

Hey boys and girls,

Since we are on the subject of strange noises emanating from places we'd
rather not talk about, I've got one that I need some help with. Subject:
'92
S4 with a 95.5 S6 tranny(40kmi). New clutch and flywheel at the time of
tranny install roughly two years ago. Noise just started about a two
months
ago.

If I start the car and just drive away normally, I hear an audible
ticking
noise through the first 2 gears, only under load, not as I decelerate.
Noise
is more like pinging than anything else, again, only through second gear
and
then mysteriously goes away after approximately 2 minutes never to be
heard
again for the remainder of my drive. NOW THE WEIRD PART, I can literally
stop the car fully warmed up, anywhere, anytime after the noise has gone
away, restart the car, accelerate in 1st and 2nd and the noise will be
there
but only for the 2 minutes or less(ping, ping, ping) Noise is not
continuos
pinging either. Sometimes the pinging is more rapid paced, sometimes not
but
pretty consistent(always there on a restart of the motor). I can
accelerate
light enough(<1/4 throttle) through 2nd gear and not hear the noise.
It's
definitely a rotational issue(car has to be moved to get rid of the
noise)
because if I let the car warm up for say 10 minutes, the noise will be
there
until after I have moved approximately .5 miles and through the first
two
gears. WTF!

So, let's rule some things out: CV's outer's, both sides have been
repacked.
When the S6 tranny went in two years ago, both ends of the prop shaft
were
repacked. I've only ever used 91 Octane here in CO to rule out a true
engine
ping, or at least I think. New starter in the last 3 months(is something
hanging up here?) It is definitely not valve lifter clatter, besides,
all
new lifters one year ago. I can usually find weird noises over time but
this
one has me completely baffled! Thanks for any and all opinions,
experiences,
thoughts on this one. I'm all ears!
