When first start the car up it has this knock right before it gets to idle rpms and a not very loud knock at idle. now this is where it gets strange driving at 1500-2500 noise isn't really there and when you go above those rpms it's like a buzzing type thing sounds like there's making a vroom type noise but when you let off the gas in gear it sounds like something is grinding against something. Which makes me think something in the tranny and/or clutch flywheel area. but I don't know that's why I'm making a post anyone have any ideas what this could be? this noise started right after I had ran up 2nd and 3rd gear. to add it's hard to put into gear can trys to move we I try to put into gear with the clutch pedal to the floor
 
You know? I hate to be the one to say this, but you really need to take it to a professional technician and let them listen to it. Once they hear it they should be able to tell you what is going on. There's so many things that I know I would tell you the wrong one.

Good Luck
 
If you haven't got one already, go pick up a mechanic's stethescope. They are about $20 and well worth it. You can listen and help pinpoint where the noise is coming from, ie bell housing or tranny. I'd do that first, just in case.
