    hi looking for a bit of advice here if anyone thinks they might have an idea whats going on with my car...

    changing from 2nd to 3rd gear is making a noise when I release the clutch, it doesnt happen going from 1st to 2nd or from 3rd to 4th just 2nd to 3rd

    also when I gear down and release from 1st to neutral the same noise (just not as loud)

    also now and then when i go into first it feels like theres a click...as if something almost didnt catch..

    the noise is coming from the back of the car (maybe underneath me but feels like behind when driving)

    any ideas?

    Make/model/year?

    If it is rear wheel drive you may have a universal joint (Harvey Spicer) worn

    What's wrong with changing from second to first when moving.
