Transmission Clicking Noise Looking for some Insight on an issue im having with my 08 GXP.
I hear a clicking noise similar to what a cv / halfshaft sounds like when going bad. I only hear this noise in 3rd or 4th gear though. Usually only 3rd gear while city driving at any mph. I pinpointed it to transmission with tap shift and the noise seems to be getting louder. My car has muffler delete so its a bit hard to hear but I can confirm it does not do it in 1st or 2nd gear. The noise does not come and go. If im in 3rd, it stays there. I also belive I can hear it in 4th but its difficult to tell.
Im at 53k miles and my fluid level is fine. Transmission shifts fine. Whats going on here?

I have the same exact issue. Gonna bring it in in a week or two to get it looked at, asked to take the tech on a ride so they know what I'm talking about. It has something to do with the DOD. I thought it was trans related as well until I got my E-cutout and heard the exhaust note drastically change when the noise started. DOD kicks in in 3rd and 4th gear while cruising or under slight load, which is exactly when the noise starts. Also goes away in neutral.

Go check out G8Fourm. Its probably your flywheel. A few people had the same noise you did and it drive them crazy until the disconnected engine and trans. I think they said something about the bolts holding the flywheel on didnt have any loc-tight from the factory, which they should of.
