Okay well this will prove my newbie-ness... What does it fee like when your clutch is wearing out? I have noticed recently that when I shift quickly into 3rd while coming out of high RPM's in 2nd, I get a bit of a "graunch" sound. It goes into gear, but definitely not smoothly. If I take longer to shift (foot on clutch longer), the noise does not occur. Same as if I shift out of 2nd at normal RPM's (3k), no matter how hard I shift. It really only does it in 3rd, as far as I can tell, but this may be because 2nd is the only gear I really run to redline. Is this my clutch fading or my synchros in 3rd?
