Took the car for a ride today. I really didn't even get on it more than half throttle and it's now making some aweful noises in 4th and 5th gear. It goes away if I push the clutch in which eliminates the possibilty of a rear end prob. It's not like it's shaking or anything just making a grinding noise or sounds more like something is rubbing. I thought something was rubbing under the car but it's not. BTW it's a 91 T5. I'm thinking it's going to go soon. Just dunno If I should even drive the car anymore w/ the trans the way it is, don't want to damage anything else. BTW if anyone in or around NE PA is looking to get rid of a decent T5 lemme know.

1-3 noise at all. Just 4th and 5th. but it still goes in to gear pretty good and doesn't pop out. Fluid was just filled too.

Took it for another ride today and maybe it doesn't apperar to the trans after all. Maybe I jumped to conclusions a little to quick Sounds like noise is further back and it sounds like something is scraping when every now and then when driving when there is a small dip in the road. I looked around an nothing apprers to be loose. I mean the car is extremely low but I'm starting the suspect the rear sway bar at this point. I'll have to crawl under and see if I can fine some bare metal spots on whatever was rubbing.

Look for scratch marks on the driveshaft. The Ebrake cable may be dragging when you hit a bump.

I looked it over and I found that my driveshaft loop was rubbing the driveshaft when I hit a bounce. I had some exaust work done and the guy took the liberty of bending my driveshaft loop which created the rubbing issue. Looks like that solved the problem.
