after 400miles of mostly highway driving, my transmission started making a strange noise. the normal 1st & 2nd gear whine was alot louder than usual and there was a awful, almost light grinding, noise between 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. i know my clutch is on its way out and i was thinking there is a slight chance it isnt disengaging all the way, causing the extra friction betweet shifts. also, with the engine off, the car in first, and my foot all the way in on the clutch, if i let the car roll i could hear and feel something barely rotating as if first gear was trying to engage and bring the car to a stop. however, the car sounds perfectly normal in 4th and 5th gears, and the clutch is working normally as far as i can tell. i had a similar problem with the diff a couple months ago, and changing the fluid made a huge improvement, so for that reason and becuase of jordan's input, i now think that the transmission is running very low on fluid. i will take care of it immediately if that is the case.
here's a sound clip for you to hear for your self. its not the best quality, but its obvious what the problem is. what you'll hear is the transmission going from 1st to 2nd, then 2nd to 3rd shifting around 2700rpm.
thanks to jordan for hosting the sound clip.
