*Ticking Noise* - Is It A Wrist Pin Or Loose Flywheel Bolt?
So I brought my car to the shop today and they gave me some not so nice news. The ticking I thought was originally an exhaust leak ... isn't.
They narrowed it down to either the trans case or the oil pan (I was there, and they were right - def not exhaust or valvetrain). They're best guess/estimate w/o taking the engine apart was that it was either a loose flywheel bolt or a faulty wrist pin.
So now questions for you guys:
A) Have any of you had one of these two problems and could possibly shed some light on the situation?
B) How much will this potentially cost me????
Thanks so much

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I've had a ticking noise from under the car for over a year now, I think it's an exhaust leak, but maybe it's not. 6400-6500 shifts a few times a week for 10k with the ticking.. guess I'm not worried about it anymore. When it breaks it will let me know what was wrong.

It's almost def a wrist pin. It's getting worse and it's def now more of a knock. F-ing figures - I got the bottom end of the car re-done to AVOID crap like this, and this happens. Thanks TTP.

This is definitely more of a knock than a ticking now that I really listen to it last night.

I was under there too and sadly that seemed the case.
They're best guess w/o ripping the motor apart was either a loose flywheel bolt or a faulty wrist pin.
