I have a 95 5speed
When I first bought the car at 127000 KMs (78000 MILES) I would hear a clicking/grinding sort of noise when driving in 1st gear. But it would go away when I would shift to 2nd and I didnt notice it in any other gears. I thought it was normal wear and tear of the syncros.
The noise has recently gotten much louder and now its there in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. Whats going on???!! Is my transmission dying on me?

your differential bearings are going bad. Eventually, you will hear it in 4th and 5th.

Check your driver side axle.... you will see transmission fluid dripping.

it's time for a rebuild! check http://www.motorvate.ca for more information on what needs to be done.

good luck

**** I was afraid someone was gonna say that. I had already seen the transmission rebuild writeup on motorvate.ca. Just wanted to see if others are having he same problems and a rebuild is the only solution.

Thanks nadir.
