Hi everyone new to the forum so not sure if I put this in the right place. Basically I’ve got a manual swapped sportcross with lsd all oem from a sedan. 143k miles about 5 k miles put on my self. Bought the car as is. Yesterday when I shifted into 3rd I started hearing a terrible rattling noise like someone was shaking bolts inside a metal can. Went to work today and aside from 3rd it was fine normal sounds from other gears. However I Left work and pretty much every gear makes the noise now. It’s worst in 3rd gear but the other gears are still very noticeable I suppose 4th and 5th are much more quiet than the rest though.
No power loss from what I can tell. When I’m in neutral at a stop it makes the noise kind of quietly and if I push my shifter up against 3rd gear and the other gears without the clutch pushed in(not actually into gear literally just pushed up against it with the natural play of the shifter) it makes the terrible noise and you can physically feel it almost bouncing off of something. If I push the clutch in noise disappears. I have a weighted shifter but not a short shifter. I read somewhere that it might be the bushing under the shifter going bad? Lost that thread so I can’t do anymore reading on it. Really starting to worry though the sound is unbearable and extremely loud. Sorry if this is too long of a post just wanted to make sure I gave as much info as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
