Hi guys i recently bought a VT ss its got the 5.7 and 6 speed

when i take off there is a horriable grinding gear sound coming from the gearbox, it also makes a simmilar noise but a lot quieter when i change gears
I thought the issue might have been first gear but it does it taking off in second also, so now im wondering if its a throw out bearing or clutch pressure plate causing the horriable noise and alot of embarresment at the lights. (the sound really sounds like a crunching noise simmilar to the noise you hear when your starter motor and ring gear arnt meshing properly) if i take off extreemly slowly and carefully the noise is heaps quieter but you can still hear a slight noise if you listen carefully.

Any ideas? All help, ideas and oppinions aprreciated

Regards Stringer
