Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / May 200785.5 944 Clicking
I have an 85.5 944 and when accelerating off the line (somewhat agressive) there is a clicking in first and second gear. most likely, the clutch is getting close to failing - if you have the kind with the rubber do-nut instead of springs (which they used on 85.5), the rubber softens and goes bad, and the pawl that keeps it from just spinning then starts activating, so you are hearing a metal to metal click - what usually follows is either death of the transmission from shock transmitted down the driveshaft (this happened to me), or the rubber failing followed by the pawl failing (this happened to both daughter's 944s). If the clicks come from the rear of the car, then it's something else, perhaps. >I have an 85.5 944 and when accelerating off the line (somewhat agressive) >there is a clicking in first and second gear.

I can confirm this - had same symptoms prior to clutch failure: Just assumed the engine was knocking.
