Screeching, scraping and whirring sounds
Okay, so it seems like whenever I go on long trips.. my car runs like crap, and all the problems appear.
Last night I went about 50 miles (hour drive) and all seemed fine on the highway and stuff but.. I think I'm having transmission issues. After we all got out of the club to go back to the dorm, I drove my car up a parking garage (the swing around on each floor, turning the wheel LEFT, and SCREECH SCREECH SCREECH SCREECH every time we went around the turn. Everyone was like "Is that your brakes? I was like idk (I think it's power steering pump leak?).. but then when I was leaving to go drive back home, I went DOWN the parking garage and cranked the wheel RIGHT each time, and.... no scraping. I know that you can hear EVERY noise your car makes in a parking garage but come on..
The other thing though that concerns me most was that as I drive home, 1st 2nd and third gear were making a crunchy grinding whirring like noise as I increased speed. (shifted at like 2400RPM each time too.) This noise doesn't usually happen this seriousely. Also, I put the car into 4th out of 5th at one point because I was slowing down and I felt on the shifter **** like something was knocking or like ticking.. I felt it through the shifter though, didn't hear any actual noise.
Can someone please tell me what this issue could possibly be? There Transmission has like 25,000 beat miles on it and 25,000 regular miles on it (good estimate), and I am the first (as far as I know) to baby it all the time, I never power shift. The tranny fluid has never been changed at all, and it needs a new clutch cable.

theres a few things that could be wrong and they dont seem, imo related.
if the noise was in more than one gear and changed with speed then its almost def. internal to the trans and u probably need a rebuild, outside of that pilot or throw-out bearings make crunchy noises but throw out would be in between gears. the screeching- sure it wasnt ur tires? if u had a lsd rear and ur taking sharp turns tires are gonna make noise.

Yup, all the way up to 2500 where I shift.. I should take the RPMs higher and see what happens but yeah.. very loud grinding lately.. never used to be this loud. What do you think about the screeching when I crank the wheel left?
