Noise from back of '86 944 Turbo
 

My '86 944 Turbo has strarted to make a ticking noise in the back. Is a bit intermitent. Tends to come and go a bit under differnet acceleration. Doesn't sound like a diff or gearbox noise but I'm no expert.

If I'm accelerating and can hear it when I depress the clutch it goes away.

Any thoughs as to what to start checking first? Anyone had experience of noisy clicking or ticking from clutch?

All advice appreciated.

Ticking is typically a bad rear wheel bearing, or a CV joint that is going out. I would check for any signs of play in the rear wheels (raise the car up, and check). If those are good, then I would check your CV axles for play, and repack them if they are not bad. Usually by the time the ticking starts, it is too late to save a joint.
