i get a rubbing noise around hard turns and high rpm in first alot and a little in second. any ideas of where i should look when i jack it up.

also i cant put my car into 1st gear without a slight grind unless i'm at like 5mph and under.
possible tranny mount?
has anyone ever had a similar problem?
and i think this all started happening after i had my clutch replaced. i used to be able to get a great launch now all i get is wheel hop

 

Do you notice any movement/vibration in the shifter?

 

yea i do

 

Check the welds on the Power Plant Frame. They may have cracked.

 

sounds pretty bad
