Hello, Volks! Today my Syncro started a new noise the likes of which I have never heard discussed on the list. Starting out in first gear there is a raspy, rattley noise that sounds like it is right under the shifter, or at least toward the front of the van. Yet it goes away completely when I shift out of first gear. Not at all present in any other gear, in any rpm. It started suddenly and is present in 90% of my first gear starts. Could something in the drive-line need lubrication? Any ideas? Thanks, Anthony '89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)
