Help! Clicking noise when going from forward to reverse. (Video)
So my car recently developed a new symptom, a clicking noise occasionally when I would accelerate from a stop. My passenger side axle has been leaking grease at the inner boot for some time so I assumed that was it and I planned to replace it eventually.
I threw a different axle I had in there today and took it for a spin. Not only is it still clicking, but I noticed the clicking is worse when switching from first and reverse and accelerating.
I replaced the clutch about 2000 miles ago and it has been doing GREAT, grabs hard and doesnt let go, I am hoping it is not transmission related (maybe I did something wrong?)
Here is a video of I took of the clicking in action, please take a look and let me know what you think:

Please let me know if you have any idea what this nasty sound is.

(Solved)
Despite all of your attempts to help me lol, I was able to figure this one out on my own.
Since the sound seemed to occur mostly when weight was transferring from the front to back (or visa versa) I suspected a suspension problem. I have had suspension problems before, with sounds occurring under the same circumstances. I got under the car and did a thorough inspection.
What I discovered was that when I had previously replaced a lower control arm, I accidentally installed the sway bar end link incorrectly, it was missing one of the metal washers that protects the bushings from the bolt, the bolt was starting to wear through the bushing. I replaced the end links on both sides, and the sound is completely gone!
Hopefully this may help someone in the future, noises when weight is transferring from front to back? check bushings!
