Hi All, Thanks for all the replies to my former post, "New Engine Time?" Perhaps I should be titling these, "New Owner Time," since that's what I am, and I'm still figuring things out on these prehistoric beasts. Latest: engine running ok, but now the tranny makes a grinding sound going into third and fourth. Stopped at idle, if I push the clutch in and WAIT for a few seconds, it doesn't grind. Other than that the tranny is fine, with no issues when downshifting or anything else. There is a whirring/buzzing sound at idle. This new grinding started suddenly, like, yesterday, when all my troubles seemed so far away. Linkage? (Yes!) New trans? (wince.) Other? BTW, car has about 151K miles on it.
TIA
