Hey guys,
I just grabbed an 02 gt and am having some issues. Whoever had it before me put a short shifter on it and I'm not sure what else. Anyways, to shift into gear is incredibly hard. It's almost like you're overcoming a wall and it then snaps right in. No noises when this happens, and I have the clutch on the floor. The second issue is that the car makes a metal grinding noise when accelerating in any gear that gets louder as the RPMs get higher. Finally- if I try and coast with my foot off the gas and off the clutch in any gear, the car bucks a little and slows down quickly like something is catching. No noise happens when this is going on though.
Any advice on the problem is appreciated. I paid a lot for this car and am terrified that I got a lemon. There is only 60k miles on it btw.
