actually, to give you more background... i'm trying to teach my gf how to drive her civic (manual trans)
uphill without letting the car drop too far before catching first gear. anyways, i notice that half the time,
i hear a clicking noise from the right side of the car near the front/right wheel well. this isn't the type
of clicking from a bad cv joint. it's a sharp click, like when you're cutting your toenails. hahaha, that's
the only example i could come up with. of course, it's a little louder than that.

actually, it's similar to the problem described in this thread https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_63447/tm.htm

it didn't sound like any transmission part, like a synchro crunching. it sounded very sharp and like it was
coming from outside of the engine/tranny. maybe a part connecting the engine and tranny?

i hear it both when she was reversing and on first gear. i didn't hear it on the other gears when driving.

any ideas what it may be?
