Hey what's up guys! It's been a while since I've posted as I have been working up in MN this summer and I have not had access to the internet let alone a computer for these past few months. So anyways, here's my question to y'all: When I shift between gears 2-3 and 3-4 relatively fast (no powershifting or any stupid-a$$ crap like that BTW) I have recently begun to hear a little squeaking noise emitting between the shifts. From where the squeaking sound is coming from I don't know and I haven't been able to pinpoint it down yet. I'm thinking that it might be one of three things... 1.) Throwout Bearing, 2.) Transmission Syncro Gears, or 3.) Something in the Rear-End / Rear Differential. My guess is that it's something to do with the clutch (throwout bearing) as it's been squeaking in a very similar manner (still relatively quiet) for the past one and a half months now whenever my foot is not on the clutch like when I'm at a stop and the car is in Neutral. I usually just tap the free-travel zone on the clutch and the squeaking usually stops right there. I'm pretty sure that it's the throwout bearing for the above said symptoms and I am thinking that it might be the same culprit for the squeaking noise between shifts. So what do y'all think?? Thanks in advance for any responses!! -JJ
