Sorry all... late to the party. Is this the noise when pulling away in either 1st or reverse is a sort of higher-pitched grate/whine (not the pwr-steering)? If so, I have such a noise in both my '02 and '04 MCS, sounds like something isn't lubricated, and you can sort of 'feel it' in your clutch foot.

If this is what you guys are talking about, could you let me know? The '04 is going in for 10k soon, and the '02 is going to hit 36k before long, so I'd like to get it addressed when convenient/still possible.

Many thanks!
