Default a couple ?'s

ok my car had sat for like 3 days- like the longest it's ever sat since iv'e had it- ne ways i went to start it and notin happened, wouldn't even crank. so i got out the booster and shocked the hell out of it and fired it up. checked the charging sytem its fine so i think i'm drawing power from somewhere. I don't have an amp or ne thing that stays on? where should i start to looking for the source?

the other ? is when i'm racing and shifting from first to second real fast it grinds like hell! is it clutch or syncro? n e help is appreciated

Sounds like a battery. A battery on it's way out tends to go quickly when the cold weather arrives
