Default Rattling during acceleration

Hi everyone,

I just wanted a general direction to check on my car. During mild to hard acceleration while cruising at lower rpms, like at 20 mph in 2nd gear, my car makes a rattling/ clicking noise. It only happens rite when I step on the gas and only lasts about a second then goes away. I'm out of warranty and justed wanted toget an idea of what I'm dealing with. Sorry if this is a duplicate post but I didn't see anything, thanks.

Default Same Here

I noticed the same thing with ny tC. My dad says it might be coming from the transmission linkages, an easy fix.

Thanks for the input guys. It kinda makes sense because sometimes I hear it between shifts also. I'm gonna check it out this weekend. If anyone else has an idea, please let me know.

Check your heat shields. I had the same thing go wrong with my Civic, and it ended up being a heat shield being loose.
