check your cv joints, wheel bearings, and front suspension.

Cv joints, axle are good. Could be suspension but why would it only click in gear? Ill have the wheel bearing checked though and get back, thanks .

It's stick, only clicks when in gear, if I'm off the gas but its still in gear it will click. If I push in the clutch and its neutral it won't do anything even while moving.

tranny or clutch problem. Do you have a lightweight flywheel?

Wow that sounds really expensive. No it's a stock flywheel.

Tranny though? It drives totally fine, it sounds like something is loose and flapping around almost. Gonna have it taken apart tomorrow.

Ok fixed it. Got the car on a lift and took the wheels off, the boot was torn on the axle, not leaking yet, and the cv joint wasn't broke but was loose and could be shook. I'm assuming the clicking was coming from it being loose. I brought it to a local mechanic I guess he didn't see anything ripped on the joint and figured it was fine (definatley never going back there) I bought a new axle for $100 getting it put in tomorrow.

Oh yeah thanks for the help, I probably wouldn't have double checked the cv joint if you didn't say anything.
