Soft Grind
When I pull out of my driveway and start driving down the street, some times when i try to pull my shifter out of 1st or 3rd gear, i can't pull it out and i hear a chattering sound. This has happened on multiple occasions with my left foot firmly to the ground with the clutch.

Any one share similar experience or have a solution?

They stopped having the hard to disengage problem back in May 06... so that pretty much rules out your car for the TSB problem

Does it happen as you shift gears, or does it start once you car is in neutral? Gear chatter in neutral is normal, but only with the clutch out...
