[s-cars] clicking noise - 1st Gear only

[Frank Amoroso]

It may be your 6 speed calling, but there probably isn't a need to
answer until your 5 speed checks-out completely.

I bought my car with this noise (does it go away with clutch
engagement?) and drove it for five years, including some time at 30 psig
boost. I did take it easy on 1st back in the early days, but later on
(particulalry after I purchased a 6 speed and it sat in the garage for
months) I was merciless with it. Never got any louder.

If the noise doesn't bother you, you are probably good.

YMMV
