Hey everyone I have a 2000 mustang gt and just recently noticed a clicking noise at about 1500 to 2000 rpm (that's when it starts) and gets louder and faster the higher rpm that I go my buddy who is pretty engine savvy said it is probably a pushrod now my question is has anybody experienced this or have any input as to what it could be thank you so much an advance to any post

 

Your car has no pushrods. If the tick is like mine its a rod bearing. Change the oil now and shine a light at it while stirring it around. Does it have metal flakes all in it?

 

That's what I thought as well but im not too savvy I will try doing that later on today and if it does its what??? Sorry im trying too learn this **** thanks

 

If there is you will need an engine rebuild. If you keep driving it until it throws the rod you will have to pretty much buy an entire engine. Right now you might can save the crank. You will most likely need new rods though

 

This is the one I spun.

 

Well fu(k me running so you had the same problem this sucks anyways who do you recommend I go through to get the rebuild kit seeing as you have done this as well

 

Where do you live

 

I live in san diego for now I am a marine so this is just where im stationed but am from Sacramento california

 

Ahh. Well unless you've rebuilt a modular engine before I wouldn't mess with it. They are a little more complicated than a push rod engine. Rebuild cost for for mine was around 1500 bucks in parts alone. Buy mine is a 4v engine. Yours is newer than 95 right?

 

Yeah mine is a 2000 2v I was thinking it would be cheaper buying a 5.0 and groping it in and I am not going to do it myself I want my car to run afterward lol so what do you think

 

It is cheaper but you will not be able to get it to pass emissions because the 5.0 was never an obd2 engine

Here's mine. How many mile are on yours Shaun? I had to replace one rod.

 

I have 114000 on mine and thank you

 

Do you think the noise is coming from the top of the engine or down low?

 

I can't really tell sounds like its down low I took it into a speed shop to see if they can diagnose it better so when I get the results back I will post and let you all know what the problem is thanks for all the post and help

 

update??

 

OK so the rod going through the transmission into the engine, a spline I believe, was worn real bad and also bent which was causing the knock I asked if he could just replace the spline and no dice I need a new tranny its OK though he hooked me up with a badass price of 1200 so any body in or around San Diego stage 3 in oceanside talk to Sam he's a good guy and won't rape you

 

so your clutch went bad?

 

How do you bend an input shaft???

 

someone is jerkin his chain??
