2006 MX-5 Engine Ticking after Bad Shift
Welp, I finally did it. I money-shifted my car. Went from 5th to 2nd. It started ticking after I did that (I know these cars always have a mild ticking, this is new and much louder).
Attached a video, hopefully that helps. Sorry for wind noise, it's never not windy here.
The tick is louder on the manifold side (could be an exhaust leak?).
I don't think it's rod knock, but I'm not sure what it is.
Don't have money for a mechanic so I'm trying to figure out if I can fix it. Couldn't find any other posts on the forum about this so I'm hoping someone here can help.
Oil level is fine.
Car is a 2006 MX-5, 2.0L, 6MT.
Thanks in advance
