You could pull the top cover off and take a look up there and see if anything is going on. Just remove the 4 bolts and be aware of the o-ring that seals it.
A clicking noise would normally be associated with the u-joints though. Does the noise change when you turn or trim the unit?

clicking noises
pulled the cover off it looks ok did notice on the upper some cracks in the paint maybe from heat? the noise gets louder as you go faster doesnt seem different on turns will check u joints though and get back to you thanks for the replyComment
