so today im gettin on the highway an i go to shift from 4th to 5th and the clutch bounces out and makes a wierd skreech or high pitched grind of some sort... wats that all about. and i noticed a quiet high pitched humming from the motor too..
Hmmm, well it is possible that it wasn't fully seated in 5th gear and when power was applied it popped out. That's a bit odd under normal circumstances, but it could happen on a one time thing. If everything is working well now, I wouldn't worry about it. If this continues to happen, check the clips holding the shifter cables down into the shifter cage. Make sure they are fully seated (there is a TSB about this).
