Hey guys, first time user!

Okay so i bought my first supra today, 1994 - 104,000km - twin turbo - 6spd

Imported from Japan to Australia at 81,000km and has had 1 female owner in Aust for the last 4 yrs.

This is also the first time i have driven a supra. There are a few noises that i am thinking aren't healthy.

Firstly, when sitting at traffic lights etc, and the car is in idle, there is a rattle noise coming from what i believe is the gearbox. It goes away completely when i stick the clutch in... Any ideas what would be causing this would be great. I think it gets worse when a/c is on. Not too sure yet though.

Secondly, sometimes when taking off in 1st gear, there is a kind of grinding noise....thats the best word i can think of to describe it... coming from the gearbox too i think..

Thanks a lot!
