I agree, I probably was too critical but to throw out diagnosis without clarifying the issue could cause a naive individual to take premature action and waste alot of dollars. I know my diagnosis is correct. Please send the $65.00 diagnosis fee. In all seriousness he has no problem, the noise his is experiencing is normal. If he would have state performance issues, such as difficult shifting, popping out of gear, slipping clutch etc it would be a concern. To verify he needs to put the car in neutral, clutch out and rev the engine to about 1500 rpms if the noise goes away it is gear rollover noise and is normal.
I run into alot of guys with 20 years, problem is it is 1 year 20 times.

We all know that C/F stuff isn't cheap....it wouldn't take long to go through a couple grand in replacement parts....maybe not $6500, but there again, maybe it's more polite to ask him what's up instead of immediately jumping down his throat. We all have bad days now and then, but how about some benefit of doubt and less sarcasm. If you think you're too qualified to answer these posts, then my advice is....don't.
