damm tranny problems

[scirocco210 at hotmail.com (Parker Wulf)]

Well the last time I listed this my tranny was making a rubbing noise only 
when I would let off of the gas in gear, so I quit driving it. I called the 
old owner about it and he said that it could be the mainshaft bearring and 
to change the oil then it should be fine to drive it, so I did (the old oil 
was kinda a grey yellowish). SO... after about 4 days, I am driving the 
beast and I hear a knocking from the tranny. When it is in neutral and 
costing, no noise. Going from neutral to 2nd while costing makes the noise 
again, then lightly makes it while in gear, when I let let off of the cluch 
it soulds like there is a midget with a jack hammer under the hood! A buddie 
and I jacked up the front and the diff seems fine, wheels turn freely with 
no noise. We let down one wheel to the ground, while in neutral my buddie 
would spin the wheel while I would listen. The knock noise comes from where 
the clutch is every two rotations of the wheel. What could this be? Bad 
cluch? Bad presure plate?  Bad bearing? Bolt fell out inside case? Any ideas 
would be great, because I am getting sick of driving my ford winter beater! 
oh yah, it is a 87 scirocco16v 2.0
