welcome to the site... what is the question???

Welcome! I had a tough time figuring some of this stuff out when I first joined -- just ask for help and you will usually get prompt assistance.

G'day. No worries man! It'll all come together with time. Any mods done to the ride?

I have had this car for about a year and I'm having all sorts of issues... fuel pump, rear end replace, ignition switch, exhaust system... and that's just a few things! Anyway, I've had this sound, like a chirping(metalic scraping/Squeaking) noise that happens when I push in the clutch and when I'm stopped at a light. Usually gets more pronounce when I have been driving; not when I first start it up. But it keeps getting worse. Any Ideas??

Also now my shifter knob has a weird shaking(bobbing up and down) along with the car shaking with it like something isn't braced right. What could it be?

Also with my clutch... whenever I let off the clutch and apply gas, no matter how smooth I try to make it, it clunks into place and shakes the car.

...And something going on with the brakes... when I apply them, as the car slows down right before I'm stopped, it feels like I just stomped on the brakes... almost like the back ones aren't working or something... bad suspension?? I know this should be on another thread sorry...

So many problems with this car... I'm just scratching the surface. I had a 96 WS6 that I loved but some b@#ch ran me off the road and totaled it... so now I have this 01 WS6 riddled with problems because I was too eager to find a replacement. Whoever had this car tried to pimp it out and so I'm having to undo his screw ups to make it stock again.

I never could get this to post anywhere else, still giving me the blank page thing after submit...

Sounds like a bad transmission mount or torque arm mount and the throw out bearing may be taking a crap. You need to get under the car and check your tranny and torque arm mounts. The other things are all pretty common issues from what gets posted on here. Let us know what you find.

Like said. The shaking shifter is probably the transmission mount.
The brake problem sounds like something wrong with the valve that splits the pressure or they could be adjusted wrong.
Not sure on the clutch problems.

Sound like the clutch might have some Chatter. If it has been driven hard, it might need a new Disc and the Flywheel resurfaced. Just my 2 cents

The factory service manual (2002) states under the "Engine Flywheel Cleaning and Inspection" section, "In order to maintain the proper component balance, contact surface taper, and heat transfer, manual transmission flywheels are NOT to be machined."

OK, Then when you buy the new Cluch Disc get a NEW Flywheel....
