I just bought an 01 with a 6 speed (sold my '94 - what an improvement!!!) The car is almost new (2800 mi). When starting in first gear, I hear a gravelly sound, more pronounced when going uphill (like my driveway). I've read that it is documented as a problem, but I'm wondering what causes the problem? Transmission? Baffle in the exhaust? The car sat for a while so maybe something in the exhaust rusted? I'm wondering what causes it and can it be fixed? Thank you for any comments and help you can provide.
