Default Weird noises?

Hello everyone,

I just wanted some input on some noises that have been coming from my 99 SS.

1. At idle and at 3000+RPM, I can hear and feel a "clacking" through the shifter. It sounds like a little choo-choo train. The shifter I have is a Lous Short Stick.

2. Whenever I turn my steering wheel, I can hear a sound that kind of resembles nails dragging across a cloth seat. I wouldn't describe it as a whirring though.

3. Whenever I am at 5000+RPM and engaged at full throttle, I can hear the sound that resembles the tearing or shredding of paper.

Any suggestions as to what problems these are?

No suggestions, but all of those do indeed scare me. Good luck!

#1 Tranny mount.

#2 Possible PS pump or rack problem... Fluid is fine?

#3 I don't know, but my red TA did the same for a few months when the car was stock... I turbocharged it and, lo and behold, it ceased.
