Hi,

Hope someone can diagnose this problem I've been having recently. There is a ticking coming from the rear of my boxster when i accelerate in first gear from about 1000-3000rpm the best I can liken it to is the sound of having a playing card stuck in the spokes of a bicycle rim. The sound is not present if I just rev my engine when not in gear, or if I take off from second gear. Only in first gear..

anyone have any ideas or have experienced something similar?

Thanks!
Richard
