My 5spd in my 2000 is grinding in 4th and now starting a lil in 5th. Its weird, it doesnt make a sound from 1st through 3rd but in 4th it starts to make a grinding noise when the turbo spools and you start to get into the engines powerband. Now 5th is just barely starting to make a very faint noise.
It has an aftermarket clutch in it, but im not sure what kind. If you try to start off in 2nd it bucks pretty good. Do yall think its the clutch or some bad bearings in the tranny or ??? I noticed too that when you have it in 4th and are just kinda lugging along at very low rpms like 1000-1200 it makes that same sound, kinda like a throw out bearing or something.
Im not really all that knowledgeable about clutches and how they work because I have never had to fool with one of them so far. I would really hate to tear apart the tranny or even replace it when its just a junk clutch or throwout bearing or ???. Any opinions???

Wasn't my truck, but it has held ever since. Just a cheap fix if you want to save cash.....however the next person that tears it apart will cuss you. :hehe:
