I have an 05 6MT with 8K on it.

A week ago I noticed a clicking noise coming from under the car whenever I started driving in first and right up to 3rd gear. This is when I am being gentle on the car too.

Then a few days ago I was parked under an car port and heard a rattling from under car when I stopped and the clutch was fully engaged. This was after a 2 hour trip.

Any ideas on what it could be? So far I heard it may be a throttle bearing since some G's have been known to have that problem.

I am also getting VERY "notchy" or "rough" shifts in the first two gears. I thought they improved syncros on the 05s?

Any ideas? The car goes to the dealer on Thursday to inspect the problem. I want to do my homework before I get the dealer's answer.
