 My voltage regulator also makes clicking sounds on a regular basis (I have
the  rear sit removed while I was doing work on the floor pan).  It does not
click  continuos, only for about 1 minute or so and then it stops.  When it
is  clicking it stops when I push on the clutch to change gears or when I am
out  of gear at the lights.  Then when I put it on gear it starts clicking
again,  it will stop clicking after a minutes (as I said before) and not
come back for  5 or so minutes.  Anyone have any idea with this?  I have not
checked on the charge since I don't have a volt meter.

mistake.
