Ohhhhhhhhhh......... so ManyBrews is a MMNA tech!! Holy crap!! I didn't know! My bad. [] I am sorry I had any doubts, Brew. I am happy to know it's really nothing. I was concerned as heck and the Service manager @ my local Mitsu dealership (in Longwood) has no idea whatsoever what the problem is. It is not very re-assuring to hear a guy with 11 years of experience hear the clang and then say... "damn, I wonder what could that be. First time I heard this on an Outlander". You guys just saved me from a bad stomach ulcer from worrying. Thanks! I will try to post and help in any way I can. Brew, do you have an Outlander? How about you Blackb13?
