Hi all.

I've recently purchased an 04 base model Pontiac Vibe 5 speed manual.  I've had it for about a month.  It only has 42K miles on it.  On about four occasions in total when shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear the shifter made a clanging noise and it felt as if it moved vertically up in my hand momentarily.  It then continued to move freely into 2nd gear.  

I also noticed when driving in 2nd gear that on occasion when I turn the wheel slightly to the right going around a gradual bend in the road I hear a tick tick tick noise.  It does not sound like it's coming from the engine though and I have not noticed it happening when I'm making a full right hand turn.

Any thoughts are appreciated on either of these issues.

Thanks.

Mike
