1)my gear box makes a odd grinding noise when i switch gears sometimes, most commonly with 1st 5th and R. its like it doesnt want to accept the gear change i have to keep trying till it goes in all the way. what could that be?

2)cruise controle doesnt work when i activate it it simply increses speed and pulls the pedel out from under my foot. any ideas?

im open to suggestions, thanks in advance

 

as far as the gear grinding goes, it might be your synchro crapping out mine does that occasionally in 3rd.
mine doesnt have cruise control, sorry i cant help you there
oh-check the tranny fluid, you might be low

 

Turbo??? Non Turbo??? model???

#1 probably worn gear box, when did you last change the gear oil??? try using Redline MT90 or Redline Superlightweight gear oil.

#2 Turbo?? Non Turbo??? Non turbo, probably you have a vac leak or busted switch... Turbo you probably have a bad switch, or bad actuator, or misadjusted actuator.
