I am trying to understand how serious/expensive the problem might be:
Few months ago, the car started to make weird noise when I use clutch. At higher engine RPM (around 3,000), when I depress the clutch, at the very end of it - with, perhaps, a *very* short delay - a load sound can be heard. It's hard to describe, clacking/tinkling maybe - as if two metallic parts slam into each other with some friction involved.
The sound can be heard *before* the use of the shifter. When the RPM is low, however, depressing the clutch does not make this noise. Apart from the noise, shifting/driving is completely normal.
The car is Subaru Impreza 1993 with 91,000 miles on it and a clutch replaced by a dealer at 65Kmi. Other than the clutch and the totally rusted fender, the car has been problem-free. I am thinking about keeping it for few more years - but not if the repairs run more than the car is worth (probably not much more than $1,000?).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.
