FWIW, I went to my dealer about a month ago to 
(couldnt find female dog pic) about tranny noise, shudder, etc. and they told me there will be a fix in 2 months, and they'll call me in. They took my VIN and documented stuff. When diagnosed by a tech he told me it could be one of the bearings in the tranny. I'm hoping to get at least new clutch and pressure plate for the shudder.
btw, i have 42k mi. and i never had these M/T prob's with 6 other cars before.

Well if you do go to have your M/T rebuilt you might want to consider finding a shop who's willing to let you sit in and watch how its done. Even if you don't learn enough to do it yourself the next time its still worth a look just to see how big a PITA it is.
