my car is making some sorta ticking noise just sitting at idle i dont need to have it in gear but with the clutch engaged it makes the ticky sound and when i push the clutch pedal down and disengage it the noise stops and its leaking fluid also what could this be?

 

What fluid is leaking? All the TCs tick at idle.

 

Get rid of one of the threads you have two. It is most likely your throwout bearing.

 

Di?..Wheres the fluid coming from?

 

Agreed i have had this happen three times to me everytime it was the throwout bearing

 

how much did that cost you? and it was clear then idk

 

Doesn't a bad throwout bearing make noise only when the clutch pedal is depressed?

 

Throw out bearing. I had the same thing happen to me got it fixed under warranty

 

He said the noise stops when he is depressing the clutch, it doesn't sound like the TOB.

 

No it only makes the noise when the your foot is off the clutch in neutral

Well the first time it cost me 700 dollars most of it was labor, but if they have the trans out you might as well put a better clutch in there

 

i gues it was tranny fluid so idk

 

In my last car, RSX-S, the TOB made noise. It wasn't as you describe though. It was with the clutch out. (foot off the clutch pedal) It didn't make a tick noise, it made a whirring sound. Not super loud at all but very noticeable if say you were waiting at a drive-thru next to the building. I also didn't have fluid leaking.
It could still be that... I'm not some kind of expert but I am guessing something else.

 

If it's tranny fluid thats leaking , you have a bad seal, slave cylinder or a cracked case. A bad TOB wont leak tranny fluid to my knowledge.

Here's GM's fix it chart lol/

Transmission Fluid Leak Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
Using the incorrect type of transaxle fluid may affect the sealing ability of the seals. Ensure the use of the correct type of transaxle fluid. The incorrect type of sealer may not be compatible with the transaxle fluid or may not have the correct characteristics for sealing the affected components. Ensure the use of the correct type of sealers. Refer to Sealers and Lubricants.

Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

Use an approved method to clean the transaxle to ensure the leak location is correctly identified. If using a powder method or dye method, ensure the products are compatible with the transaxle fluid.

i have 1000 mi exactly on this new tranny and have had no wheel hop on it at all so i think they may have screwed something up when putting the tranny in

 

This is the second tranny? Man that sucks.

 

I'm about to sell it and do a ss sc with a TVS or lvl V

 

^ why get a ss/sc. when you seel ur tc just to buy a ss/sc THEN tvs or turbo you may break even. maybe. keep ur tc and buy a bike.

 

That was my other option I want a new white gsx r

 

Its a leaking slave cylinder. I had the exact same problem, ticking noise and all, they warrantied and even put a new clutch in, as it was contaminated with brake fluid(clutch and brake system share a resevoir).

The clear fluid you see is not transmission fluid, it's brake fluid leaking out of your slave cylinder, the ticking sound will be the release bearing (throw out bearing)

 

it was a cracked case

 

with a 12.75 Im assuming you have a pretty aggressive tune. Honestly, wouldnt you expect something to break at some point? Did you have your tranny replaced under warranty the first time?

 

yes sir but no more drag racing for me 4500 dollars is not a fun bill to pay
