I was driving my car which is a MY2000, I stopped at a stop sign. I got on it till redline, shifted to second and I guess I didn't get it all the way in to gear and it popped out. Then when I put it in second its instantly started making a grinding noise, so I shifted to third and same thing. I pulled over put it back in to first started to let the clutch out slowly and started making the same grinding and wouldn't hardly move. Any thoughts? I know its impossible to diagnos it with out hearing the noise for youself or inspecting it, but just thought someone has had this problem. Thanks in advance!

 

is it a rotational grinding? only when the car is moving? only when the clutch is engaged or also when it's disengaged?

can you easily shift the car while the engine is running, but it's not moving?

 

Yes it only when it is moving. It goes in to the gears the same as it did before.

 

Does it make the noise when you're not in gear?

 

Nope it doesn't make the noise when in neutral.

 

Ok, that *should* rule out the differential.

So you're looking at your transmission and the engine-side of the transmission.

 

Can you here were it is coming from the?? maybe get a friend outside the car to listen as you move forward. Do you have the noise in reverse?

 

The noise is in every gear. It sounds like it is coming from some where in the rear in the middle. If you creep alittle ways it will stop for a split second and then start again.

 

Yeah i think this needs a local member or mechanic... Again, pretty much impossible to figure out online

 

ya thats what I figured, but thought it was worth a shot. Thanks for the help you guys!
