Ok here is the situation. my father gave me his gt. ive done complete tune up, both axels, battery, rear sturts. now here is were im at now. when you start the car and put first gear and take off there is no problem, 2nd gear no problem nowwww....putting 3rd gear is the problem. the clutch is pressed in, as your trying to put in 3rd there is a craakkkk. the same noise that u hear when the cluch in not pressed in all the way and u tryin to shift gears. its not the clutch b/c there is still preassure and it not slipping, not the tranny, my guess the cables. i looked at them today and they seemed ok. once 3rd gear is in it works just fine, i drove around with the plastic cover off the the noice seem to come from the assembly were the shifter sits on. but i dont see how that could cause that noise.
