5spd Problem?
97 Audi 2.8L A4. I noticed when in 1st gear I hear a chatter type noise. Once I'm in 2nd the noise stops (*it does not happen in any other gear including reverse). Is this the clutch or something else in the trans (I don't believe its engine related).

uh ooh...if it's a fairly loud clicking sound, that's not good....i had the same noise coming from my 12V, it was my first gear synchro...replacing the synchro basically means a tranny rebuild...i went with a used tranny cause it was cheaper. hope that's not your problem

i ended up paying 4 grand after everything (labor, new driveshaft, + a few random little things)
www.car-part.com has a ton of 5-speed trannys for cheap, if you can find someone to install it for you
