Hi I just noticed this today that the first and 2nd gear seems to make a growling sound and faster it gose in them gears the louder it gets. When clutch pushed in it gose away. Dose this mean the transmissions bad? everything seems to work on it just fine it switchs through gears smoothly. Also im thinking of changing the gear oil hopeing it helps.

Your bearings are failing on the intermediate shaft.

Well that sucks. I will drive it till the wheels fall off and change out trannys. I got another tranny in a parts car I bought.
