Transmission sqeaking/grinding???? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok so I decided to take my car out for a spin this weekend and when rolling out on 1st gear there is a significant amount of vibration(I mean the whole car and shift knob) but this mostly happens when you are kinda letting the car almost to stall. I went on the road and then I heard a squeaking/grinding noise right below the shift knob. The noise and vibration go away when I downshift or when I'm at high RPMs. The car shifts very smothly and gears change w/o any problems, the only problem is that noise and the vibration I'm getting.

I was thinking about being the drive-shaft installed incorrectly, but I didn't take it apart yet to find out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's a 1989 240sx with B-Top SR20DET. I have replaced the master and slave clutch cylinder in the past because the car wouldn't shift, but that's all good now.
