i have an 02 gt with 39,000 miles on it. two weeks ago it began making a subtle screaching noise. Nothing that sounds alarming but its enough to tick me off. it happens when shifting into 5th gear in the ranges of 45-70 mph. i havent had a chance recently to get on it more than that. Does anyone have a clue whta could be going wrong with my car? I have a buddy that says he would put money on my flywheel but it doesnt make sense to me.

Do you have a stock shifter? Does it go away after the car warms up? Mine makes a noise only in 5th but it doesn't screach. Its more like a rattling noise but it goes away when the car warms up. I have an MGW shifter however so noises are not unusual with non-stock shifters.

MINE DOES THAT TOO!! Wtf is that noise? Mine only does it when its cold too and it 5th. It does sound like a screeching noise.

dude i have no clue. i have a stock shifter and i've only noticed it since its been cold. AND after the car does warm up it stops, i have no clue what is going on. i'm glad someone else has this problem other than me. i guess it probably means its nothing bad?

My 02 gt does the same thing too. Only in fifth but also when I shift into neutral from 5th while moving.
Anyone have a clue? My guess would be the trowout bearing since it squeaks all the time in the first place.

Usually that is sign of bad out put bearing. Bad front bearing makes noise in 1st through 3rd and gone in 4 and bad out put bearing only makes noise in 5th.
