So just recently the car started to grind third on occasion. It seems to do it more when I shift fast. If I shift slower it wont do it. Also it seems harder to get the car into second at times on the 1-2 shift. Sometimes the car will shift fine and act like nothing is wrong, but other times it does the above mentioned things. When the car is cold I also notice a grinding sound when I put the car in first of second gear. The gears themselves are not grinding but there is some sort of humming noise that I can feel in the shifter. It's hard to explain. Also there is a rattling sound when the car is idling in neutral and it goes away when I push the clutch in. So, what could be the problem here? Is my tranny going out? Are the synchros bad? Would changing the fluid in the transmission help anything? For what it's worth the car has 67k on it.
Also, the car sometimes will shift fine and everything seems ok. Since the weather has gotten warmer it is not doing it as much for some reason. Could a throwout bearing cause it to grind at times? Thanks for the help.
