I got a blown strut which i maybe replacing both fronts with tokicos.I also have a torn boot as some know and im guessing all the grease dried up now or dirt went inside.Could it be that because i feel the click all through the pedal too.

What do you mean by a click?

Do you mean a vibration?

you know that your car has a kick down switch, which Literally kicks the transmission down a gear when at WOT. (great for passing or everyday driving for some).

Have you looked at the throttle cable to see that its not stuck anywhere?

Look at the TB and make sure nothing is obstructing it.

With the car off see if the pedal when fully depressed makes a clicking noise.

It comes from the bottom of the outside.Nothing with the pedal or trans.I know the car kicks down because it pulls the car back which im guessing its doing it too hard.Bottom line for that im replacing the trans and engine soon or next year.Gonna take my old one apart and fix it.

Maybe its the blown strut?Or that cv/boot that holds that one bar?

I have no idea then, But do you have even the slightest idea of how much time and money, More money actually to do what you posted above?

As the saying goes "If it ain't broke, Don't fix it"

But I will bite, Why do you wan to replace the engine and trans?

I got a lifter problem and it's annoying.Plus im saving the engine im fix for a 240sx me and my cousin will get someday in 1-2 years.Im going to uti and taking nissan as an elective so you feel me?

But im reading the service manual right now and i'll find the right name of the part.

Everything now and days is alot of money but to do something thats your passion and a dime. But im reality it is alot.

Unless your car has a T next to Q45 then it is, Or if there is Rack on the rear wheels then it is a T as well.

I don't think the dust boots would make a clicking noise.

And did you try some thinner oil or search for that problem?

There is no t next to the q45 but it has it.Its not the boot its what the boot was covering.Which has grease in it now its metal to metal.

Found out what it was Its the Rack & Pinion.Possible to just replace the arms with the boot instead of the pump and everything?
