When I first start my car in the morning, everything is fine. I let it warm up, back out, and go. When I first go in the morning, the car clicks as it's going. After a few minutes, it quits. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Thanks!

No, no LSD...
I just lowered my car not to long ago, so I don't know... I might get under it today.

The reason I asked is I had a spoon sport clutch type LSD that used to click a lot in the morning before it warmed up. I just thought I would give it a shot.

Thanks... any input would be really helpful at the time!

How old is your clutch? Throw out bearing could be dragging, pressure plate could have a bent finger, or if it is like my old civic you could have dropped a spring out of the clutch disc, also check fluid level, make sure you didn't break an axle seal at the tranny or cv joints could be going bad, but I would really consider the clutch because I had a similar problem with a civic. While you are at it check your wheel bearings.

I don't think it's the Rear LCA bushings, I can hear the noise coming from the front of the car...
That Tranny Juru makes me worry, so I hope that isn't it. I can't check it, so I might have to wait until it becomes constant to address the problem. Anyone else have any Idea what it could be, any input welcome. Thanks for all the input though... it's been helpful, yet stressful to think about

My Clutch isn't old at all... I drove my car, and decided to turn really hard left in a circle at 5mph, and right the same. It might be the CV Joint, because my car clicks random times when I'm turning all the way Left...I mean all the way though. But only then... then when I first take off in the morning. I don't think it is the clutch assembley, because when I pressure the clutch in and out, it doesn't make a difference, and it does it when I coast in Nuetral.
My question now is, could the CV Joint do it going straight just for a minute, then quit. Or could it be my axel?

Okay, so your clutch isnt that old and it clicks when you turn hard and in the morning when you go straight. CV's usually dont click going straight unless you have completely worn the bearings out and the axle is flippin around in the joint which is really bad. Broke a CRX axle like that once not good when you are in the middle of nowhere. You really need inspect your axles soon.
