ive had my car for about 2 months now. about a month ago i noticed a noise that seems to be comming from my engine bay, whenever im runnin it through the gears, on 2nd and 3rd gear. it gets to about 4000rpm and starts to make a clacking noise sounds like metal on metal almost. it doesent sound good at all and im wondering whether or not i should take it to the dealership, since i have my warranty still, because i dont want some kid out there runnin the **** out of my car trying to get it to make the noise. my car has around 52k miles on it. also, i was racing my friend who also has a 00 TA, and he could hear it when my engine was rev'in up real high. please help!!!! sorry for the long post
thanks guys in advanced!!!

If the car is still under warranty I would definately take it to the dealer Engine noises are never good Let us know what happens

Have you ever done a mis-shift? Does the clacking rate increase as the RPM's go up?

i did buy my car used, with 40k miles, ive never missed a shift since ive had it, but i cant speak for the previous owner., it just seems to start making the noise from 4k all the way to redline, and only seems to be in 2nd and 3rd
