I've noticed over the past few months 3rd and reverse have become harder and harder to obtain smoothly... Lately its been getting worse, when I'm driving and not paying attention to well, my normal soft shifting fails to get the car into 3rd, requiring a pretty decent shove to get it in gear afterwords, or back into neutral, and reapply clutch.
The other thing I have noticed which is really troubling me, is that every so often, perhaps once a month, there is a horrible lurching noise on a cold start going into 1st gear... its so loud that even people outside the car can cleary hear it over my wide open Borla exhuast, I mean its a loud frickin noise!! its like a lurching grinding of really rusty metal i beams folding in half, like the sound they use in movies when building roofs start to collapse. Thats the best I can describe it... i'm fairly sure it has to do with the clutch, but exactly whats causing it, I havent the faintest. I havent changed the tranny fluid in awhile, which I'm going to do soon now just for the hell of it, but any guesses in the meantime are welcome
