Another question I have; I've noticed that when I push in the clutch (especially when going from 1st to 2nd), I can hear a "rattle" or a "tumbling" sound coming from somewhere in the transmission. I know I am pushing in the clutch all the way, and I'm not doing so slowly or anything. Is this normal as well? Or something I should get looked at? Car has done this since I first drove it home, so I'm not sure if it's normal or not.
It's not all that loud, and not like anything is really "clanging" in there. But it is something I notice every time. Just curious if everyone else has it too (manual transmissions).
Final question; I want to do an early oil change. How many miles do you all suggest?

I've noticed it as well, and it's annoying. I think it's just a Chevy quirk. My 97 SS did the same thing. I took it to the dealer and they said that's, "just the way it is". I put 130k on it before selling it and never had any trouble with the transmission.
