So I have a sneaking suspicion that my transmission may have something wrong with it. For as long as I've owned the car, it has made a loud ringing/clanking noise at precisely 1500 RPM under load. No noise in neutral, but under acceleration in every other gear, the noise is there. If I stay at 1500, the noise does not go away. Any guesses as to what this could be?
Also, it's always been difficult to get into second gear. AFAIK, all the e30 gears have syncros... could this be a sign that my 2nd gear syncros are going bad? It's difficult to describe, but there is a delay between me trying to put the shifter into 2nd and the shifter finally moving into position that's about three times as long as any other gear. I don't like to force it in, because every other gear slides in smoothly.
Suggestions?
