Hi guys,

When I turn my ignition to on in my VX, LS1, 4L65e the transmission makes a clack, click sound? This is before turning the ignition to start.

Each time I turn the ignition to off and then back on the same clack, click sound is heard.

Does anyone know what could be causing the noise? Could this be a poor conection or failing solenoid?

Cheers.

Its not the starter, the noise is before I crank the engine and is comming from directly below the gear shifter comming from the trans.

looking into it
what is there to make a click noise we assume its electrical because of the key
when the key is to on / under the gear shifter / from the trans

you ask difficult question grasshopper

Upgraded to 4l65e car is modified and trans shift kitted. I'll try and get under and check all the connections and pinpoint the source of the noise.

well its fixable
solenoid in the starter not throwing out as far as it should
cable not getting full volts to starter
bearing in the starter seizing
check battery terminals and connections
loose starter bolts

it states before turning key , so none of the above.
