pt cruiser Transmission started clicking, see video	Sign In

Hi everyone, bummer of a first post, but hey, life!

So our 2006 A/T pt cruiser with under 20K miles one day just started this clicking noise, took it to a shop and they pointed out the noise is coming from the tranny, and they couldn't hypothesis what it might be without committing to the full monty. understandable, but i figure some expert out there/here might at least have an idea of what trouble our car is in before we get a shop to do their thing.

Have a listen/watch on the video and Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

You didn't have a starter put in it recently, did you?

It sounds like something is making contact with the dust cover at the flywheel. You can remove the cover to find out.

no, nothing but fluids has been done to it, remember, it's only 20K miles. does sound kinda like the starter, but it's originating seemingly way down there at the tranny

I never said it was the starter. I asked if anyone had the starter out which could have disturbed the covers. It could also have a broken flexplate (flywheel).
