My money is on the motor itself too. When mine went bad it would make clicking and weird whining noises but wouldn't do anything. It's a pain in the butt to change out though. On my 89 I had to take the cowl off to get it out.

Lucky. haha the way mine was set up I had to take the cowl off to get to some of the bolts and the linkage. Mine is on the drivers side. It was an aggravating project for sure.
