Hi Nate,

Yes, I disconnected the t-mount briefly to test your theory before I take the time to adjust it.

It does indeed make this noise in all gears, especially 2nd. No, it doesn't when in nuetral. Additonally, if I am in park with the engine running, it sometimes makes that sound noise until I push the clutch in.

Tranny oil is an unknown, since I just bought this car. I plan to inspect and replace this weekend.

At this point, I'm thinking that the throwout bearing and/or some part of the clutch assembly is the issue. Hopefully it's not the transmisson itself, because it shifts nicely with no grinding ot popping out of gear.
I may drop the transmission this weekend just to get a good look at the clutch.
