alright...well i put in my t-5 about a year ago. it was rebuilt and never really had any problems with it besides second gear grinding at higher rpms. well today i was just shifting normally from the stoplight (i start off in second) then go to third at about 3500rpms. well this wasnt a normal gear (well not a 2nd or 3rd gear) grind. the going into gear grind is very quick and very little teeth hitting. well this was a BIG grind and spaced out. now any time the clutch is engage with flywheel, im getting a nasty whine/grinding noise from under the shifter (im guessing in the tranny). the higher the rpms are, the loud/faster the noise is. doesnt matter what gear im in or not in. when i come to a stop and the tranny stops spinning, the noise also stops.
im curious what happened and am i going to make it home from work tonight (about 10 miles with many stops). i was going to get my second gear replaced during the winter cause its nothing too major and i dont race much from the line due to traction anyways but this noise is like nothing ive ever heard. i started to shake when it happened cause i thought i blew something in my tranny. it still works, makes that nasty hard grinding sound if i try to put her into third (stopped tryin to go into third after 2 tries) but doesnt make that nasty sound in any other gear, just the constant nasty noise. should i drive her home tonight (if she makes it) and try to get my friend to take a look at it (he lives about 3 hours away so id have to take out the tranny and bring it to him) cause its that bad?? it is so loud that i cringe while driving and pray it doesnt break more. please help
