Hello, Code P0805 is for the clutch position sensor circuit. On this vehicle, the transmission is an automated manual, so it uses a clutch actuator and position sensor to apply and release the clutch. It is common on these cars to have the clutch actuator go out which it will make a ticking noise. Here is the location so you can swap it out. Check out the images (below). Please upload a short video in your response, so I can hear what's going on.
