im getting this weird almost like a sputtering sound coming from the right side of the engine bay whenever im at low rpm and trying to take off..sounds like a belt, or almost liquid like- if that makes any sense. im not leaking any fluid or having any engine issues just wondering if it may be an issue. ive had it like a week so i havent had a chance to pull anything apart to see whats up.

im also looking at getting a short shifter for it but idk where to get a good one that cause of the pull knob on it. anyone know what i should check out?

mine's like a metallic buzzing noise - and i'm pretty sure it's my tensioner pulley - but a liquid like sound? can't imagine but mine makes noise only when accelerating from low rpm's too so maybe it's a similar issue. my 95 has a ball bearing inside the pulley hence my metallic sound, maybe yours has a different bearing.
