KA24DE 144k milesN/A

So this is my first manual transmission car. Only god knows what the hell is wrong with my car because i clearly do not know sh1t if the noises i am getting from my car is normal or not. So i have a picture here and this is what its like everytime i shift gears. The "red" mark is when the engine gets loud/screams and does not like to give much power.

***Whenever i am on first gear, from 0 RPM to 2000 RPM the engine screams and my car starts to vibrate. Its kind of annoying each time i start rolling the car.



Am i good to go or am i an idiot?

Screams? something like "YES, YES, THAT'S IT, GIVE IT TO ME DADDY"!

Seriously though check your belts first and tell us what you find.

You need to record the sound in video or something dude. Then get a photobucket account and post it here.

I agree, buy some belt dressing, it's cheap. Then check your mounts.

Check belts and then check your clutch. Could be something sticking and realeasing at 2k rpms. If it's your master or slave, you might as well replace both. my bet would be the belt though
