First off hello. I'd like to thank all of you, over the past 3 years I've been reading this forum and have learned so much. I do all of the work on my Z and it has been mostly problem free and the best car I've ever owned. I love it to death. Today I started to have an on and off problem with starting that I think is the clutch interlock. If I pump the clutch the car will start after a few tries. the battery is 3 weeks old and as I work on fords I don't think this is the issue nor the starter, I just get nothing when i depress the clutch and turn the key. Just looking for and opinion on my thoughts as I have searched here, zpost and another z4 forum with no great luck.
Also does this car have u joints? I was originally getting a metallic tapping sound witch I thought was the tsb about the end of the drive shaft not being greased properly. but the sound is getting louder and not just doing it from stand still and in my experience is starting to sound like the rear u joint (if applicable) is going bad. I just replace the diff fluid with redline but this noise was apparent well before hand. I just haven't had time to remove the panels from that area and look. Thanks for the help in advance
