Default shifter problems

hey i got a 5-spd in my 00 gt and when im stopped and have the clutch in i can hear like a gringing/spinning sound comming from under the boot. almost like im pushing the shifter from neutral into a gear with the clutch out. its a very faint sound but does anyone know what it could be. thanks

its almost like the shifter is leaning into a position in the gear box (1st,2nd,3rd etc.) anybody know what it could be?
sometimes it seems like it doesnt want to shift into gear sometimes. 1st and reverse mostly. havent had a problem going into the others

The first and reverse thing is "normal" for the transmission, there's a service bulletin on it.

Could be that your throwout bearing is worn out already. When coming up to a stop sign/light do you just let off the gas and press the clutch in when the RPMs get low, just press and hold the clutch in, or shift it to neutral?

If you've been holding the clutch in you've been killing your throwout bearing.
