I just bought a 1990 with manual transmission. It appears to have about 117,000 miles on it. Upon cranking it sounds like something is up with the flywheel or starter. Kind of a metal scraping sound. Once running, engine/transmission is noisy at idle or running but gets quiet when the clutch pedal is pushed in.

Any ideas?

Do what you can with what you have where you are
Sounds like the flywheel is cracked?

Well I was sorta thinking the same thing but didn't want to say it out loud.

Thank you for your input

Sounds like the throw out bearing on the clutch is bad. Noisy when disengaged and when pedal is depressed and pressure is put on the bearing it quiets down.
