When i start my 03 300m special after it sits for awhile it sounds fine , then when i put it in gear there is a ticking sound that sounds like a lifter but it is more prominent when you listen down by the front wheel either side has anyone had this problem or does any one have any suggestions tranny fluid level is where it should be.

 

Does the ticking happen when you are moving in gear or does it happen while you are sitting still in gear?

 

Hey thanks for answering me back. I ticks while i'm driving it also speeds up with engine rpm

 

when in neutral, there is no ticking, or it is just quieter?

 

If it is only when you are moving, it could be a worn out CV shaft joint.

 

I know I'm showing my age but what about a brake "tickler"?

 

Do you mean as if the pad is shifting because its missing a clip, or if its just squealing like a **** cause its so worn?

 

hey thanks for your reply . In the morning or after it sits for a long time when i start it there is no ticking as soon as i put it in any gear the ticking starts its there when i'm driving if i put it in neutal while moving , while stopped in park , it ticks none stop the only time it isnt ticking is if it sits for long periods it can idle for half an hour after it sits and wont tick until its put in gear then it will tick all day long until it sits again

 

it does it when the car is in park neutral drive, after i put it in gear after it sits it will tick all day all the time it never goes away until the car sits its none stop once it is put in gear . if i shut the car off and start it again after ive put it in gear that first time after it sat it will tick until it sit for a long time

Hey buddy , welcome to the forum.
You are doing things correctly, just keep posting here in this thread.

One thing you might consider though, is describing the circumstances of the problem in short sentences. For example:

I only hear the ticking when the car is warm.
The ticking starts as soon as I put it in gear.
The ticking continues even after I put the car in neutral.

When sentences all run together with a lack of punctuations like comma's, periods etc... it's difficult to understand.

A bunch of great guys willing to help around here, you are in the right place!

Joe.
