I am aware that has nothing to do with the clutch. However I took the car in for multiple issues, the clutch being one of them. I told the service rep the shifter was binding/notchy from 1st to 2nd and notchy from 2nd to 3rd. Whether I'm driving or the car is sitting with the clutch in, it feels exactly the same. I will be changing the fluid soon as many have reccomended and hopefully that will smooth it out a little. I don't see that resolving the issue though. To me it feels like a bad synchro.

The herky jerky happens all the time when just starting up, but after shes been running a while, hits a hit or miss. In my case, I could not get it to hit. I keep thinking to myself, maybe I am imagining it, but the kids in the back seat even noticed it w/out me saying anything about it. I will take it to local dealer, leave it there over night and then go there in the morning and take them for a test drive and let him feel it. Maybe then I won't be imagining it.
After the dealer, I went home. When I was leaving home to come to work, I was backing out of my garage and I could have swore I heard a griding noise. It was quick, like metal scraping against something. No, I didn't hit the garage. I thought I heard it once before, but just didn't think anything of it. I will have to pay attention more when I back out of the garage and see I can reproduce this noise.

What you heard may be normal. There is a forums around here somewhere about that. I get the same thing every now and then as well. I think it's the ABS doing a system check or something like that.
