Tick after going to track...
I let my little brother drive my car at the track this past weekend and he seemed to have messed up something. He missed 4th gear and there is now a ticking noise coming from the bellhousing area. I was sure it was just an exhaust leak but I have tightened everything down and the noise is still there. It comes from the clutch area, it is a high speed tick that seems to keep pace with the RPM's. Anybody ever had a similar problem, or any ideas.

The only thing I can think of in that area would be the throw out bearing. But I agree with lucky131969. Miss shift could of did some bad in the valve train. Good Luck finding the problem. I hope its something simple
