Ticking noise while shifting

ALTN8NRG · 06-13-2012, 12:27 PM

Has anyone had a problem with their six speed manual making a metal tick when accerating. It sounds like two metal parts coming together when I accelerate. Sounds like something is loose and acceleration causes the metal parts to touch. It's not loud, just annoying and since I paid so much for this car It's a concern.

Where is the noise coming from

I noticed that too. I just thought it was normal. Almost like a 'ping' sound. It's def from the transmission.

I have this too, i was told it was because I wasn't using Nissans "special" oil.
