I have a 95 6-spd coupe with 54000 miles on it. Whenever I start the car, push the clutch in for whatever amount of time, and then release the clutch, I get a funny high-pitched noise. Sounds like a belt rubbing on something. I get a similar sound when I rev the engine and as I rev the engine and the revs increase, the sounds frequency increases and becomes even higher pitched.
More recently, after I run the car in rush hour traffic conditions (all stop and go) or drive it for about an hour on the freeway, when I release the clutch I hear a loud knocking sound. When I push the clutch back in or am in gear, the sound stops. Further, when I'm driving (regardless of how long it has warmed up or been driven) and I run the car at low RPMs like 1100 RPM, the car bogs hard when I push on the gas. The bogging becomes worse when I get into higher gears (absolute worse in 6th gear at around 50 mph). My only solution is driving at higher RPMs, which I want to avoid for good gas mileage.
My question is, what is wrong with my transmission (or car in general)? I'm worried that this may turn out to be a transmission rebuild. I'm taking the car in for service very soon (it is not a daily driver and it will sit at home until I do). Do I need to get some liquids changed? Is there any warranty on the transmission if I do need a rebuild? If not, how much should it cost?
I will be very grateful for any response or even viewing of this post. Thanks again guys.
