so i have this clicking sound that occurs when i drive my car, some people tell me it's my driveshaft, but when i got it checked some guy told me that it was still okay... Did anyone have the same problem happen to them? and if it is the driveshaft anyone selling for a 81-85 rx7... thanks let me know...

Need to be more descriptive on the clicking noise. Fwiw, 81-85 driveshafts are not the same. The pinion flange changed mid-year in 83.

Probably a stuck lifter

That doesn't help much. Jack the car up and set the rearend on jackstands. If it still makes the same noise while the engine is running, in or out of gear, start crawling around under the hood and under the car and see if you can narrow down the location. While you're under the car, recheck the torque on all of the parts that were swapped. Also lightly apply the brakes while the engine is running and in gear, not if there is any change in the clicking. Check the torque on the lug bolts, they should be 85 lb/ft. Driveshaft should be torqued to 25-27 lb/ft. Tranny to engine, 27-40 lb/ft.

Jack the front up and check the tires/wheels for any play.
