I think I have narrowed my problem down to the diff. But just wanted to know if the diff is going bad could it make shifting notchy?

I have noticed a clicking noise every now and then only when rolling. everthing i'v searched says its either bad inner cv axles or the differential bearing. It is louder when cold outside and I hear it more often. It does seem to come and go though. I also have changed the axles about a year ago now and replaced the clutch about 4 months ago.

 

Need a little more info.

but check the axle boots and related suspension parts.

Does the clicking noise happen when turning or all the time?

 

The axles are not torn or anything. and it doesnt have the clicking, poping noise when turning. only noticable really when slowly moving in first gear.

Its a 97 civic ex. 5 speed.

 

It almost sounds like a gear spinning. like a low pitch growl. I did put the car on jack stands and ran the car through all gears and there was no sound. so I believe it only makes the sound only under a load. Does anyone know what this could be? I'm trying to
find out if it is my axles or tranny.
