Manual Transmission
1) purchased the car 2) within the one year that i have owned the car, i have experienced gears grinding when shifting from 1st to 2nd with the manual transmission on numerous occasions.

Manual Transmission
Manual transmission clutch depressed all the way to the floor but shifting is not smooth and lots of times even "grind" into 2nd gear at low speed(disengage at about 3000rpm then shift into 2nd). Feels like the shifter tires to push back to neutral. Also clutch pedal does not release so smooth after a long period of driving, making noise when pushing down and "clicks" when engaging.*ak
