ok, engine makes weird sound and trans. sounds weird in 1st/2nd gear high rpms

My car did the same thing....it was my tranny that was messed up, and also my throw out bearing on my clutch was shot. I had to replace the clutch and tranny. Do a search, all tranny's from the year 92-00 are interchangeable...as long as it's a hydraulic tranny and clutch.
