Hard shifting between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. Gear will sometimes grind when shifting or engine speed must much before engaging. Very stiff shifter at neutral and cause gear hunting from 5th to 4th. When transmission is warmed up, a rattling sound can be heard at neutral but disappear once the clutch is depressed.
