Clutch Petal Creaks and 1st Gear Pops Out During Acceleration

[CLEANest98GSX]

Hey Guys, my clutch pedal started making a creaking sound when I engage it. I am also having a problem with first gear popping out and going into neutral. Basically if I am at a stop, I start to accelerate and my car doesn't even roll, just pops into neutral. It does not do it all of the time. I am not sure if these things are related.

The car is a '98 GSX and has a stage 3 Comp Clutch and Comp Lightweight flywheel. I am using the OEM T bearing. I did eliminate the accumulator.

I am very worried that it is a synchro issue and hoping it could be due to a faulty slave/master.

Please help!

syncros on your first gear are going, almost time for a transmission rebuild. Mine does the same but in 4th gear, i dont drive it much so i will see how long before i need a rebuild. If you decide to get a rebuild from TRE see if they will give you a discount if we have a couple transmissions to rebuild =)

I literally just bought this transmission used for $600. Guy told me everything was fine on it.
