Ewwww...that is not good.
I got the same type of thing going on, the noise at least. Been doing it since before I was boosted though. I know exactly the type of noise your refering to. Car still shifts great though, no problem there. And I don't have a leak at the axel. I did back before I got my shims fixed though.

You can buy the magnet from a dealer.
I put it in my old Auto and moved it to the 5spd when I did the swap.
I guess my tranny is going - 339hp/285tq had to kill a used tranny with 110k on it already at some point I suppose.....
Question is - what's going?
The grinding noise is EXACTLY what you hear when you grind a shift - just only about half as loud.

The input shaft may be bent just a little to where the gears rake in 1st and 2nd gear. I drove for over a year with this problem until shavings got into the gear setg bearings. I had to have a whole new gear set installed that cost $1,300. You might have some time but get ready for the inevitable.

OK - drove it this morning - have more info:
1) The grinding doesn't happen when I first start the car - only after about 5mins of driving.
2) The noise is coming from the shifter it seems - not the tranny. But I don't know if the vibration that is causing that is being carried up from the tranny or what.
3) I noticed after about 15 mins of stop and go traffic, the Clutch grabs VERY softly. The pedal has to be at just about the top before any engagement.
When cold, the engagement is gradual throughout the pedal travel and when it does grab it grabs hard.
When warm it is not gradual at all until top then it barely feels like it grabs - just feels mushy....

ha gee what a quawincadance your pic has a striking resemblance of mine
the input shaft bearing is an EXTREMELY COMMON problem with 3rd gen 5spds i bet atleast 50% of the members with over 150k (lots) in the 3rdgen section have this problem they are always complaining about the noise some are worse than others. a week does not pass without a post about whats makeing a marbles in a can noise that goes away when i push the clutch in. I wonder if it will be common with 4th gens also once more of them get higher milage on them
you can get the I S bearing from http://www.drivetrain.com/ for 21$ or a rebiuld kit or go to the dealer
i also believe MATT93SE once mentioned (when his bearing failed) the I S bearing is only rated to 6k RPMS and that could be why it fails before everything else. proboly the reason for this was back when this trans was designed (1985) the max only had a VG engine which had a 6k readline but when they went to the VE and VQ which have much higher readlines they never changed the bearing

car-part.com pointed me to Team Auto Parts in Winnepeg.
Cost was $1000 USD shipped with axle - the only cheaper place listed had actually already sold it to kenji, another Northwest guy.
They bench tested it and gave me a 90 day warranty.
The only problem was a CV Boot ripped during shipping - but we were able to replace that fairly easily.

Still using the clutchnet - except for some of the paint having rubbed off hte pressure plate in one spot, it looked brand new - so I jsut stayed with it after making sure it was good still.
Lightened Flywheel + 339whp = USELESS 1st gear!

It's less about total weight of the car then it is centrifugal force of the flywheel. Your RPMs will go up so fast you'll LOSE time in 1st gear just having to shift so early without gaining speed yet.
Or that's been my experience.
