This will most likely be two separate issues. I can only assist with one issue at a time. What issue would you like assistance with first?

The grinding sound and hesitation with accelerationThank you for your time and help

For the grinding sound you will need to know where the noise is coming from and how to duplicate it. This will be separate from the acceleration issue. This may be a fault with your catalytic convertor. What fault codes are you currently getting? Please list them all or take a screen shot of the code reader.

My car won't engage 1st gear 2006 Audi A4
Hi there - I believe the problem is more likely with the 1st gear set in the transmission. If the clutch (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-a-clutch-engages-and-disengages) works in one gear, it will work in all gears. While a bad flywheel would cause the vibration...
My 5 speed dodge ram truck won't go in reverse all other other gears work fine. What might be the issue?

My car has been getting random cylinder misfires. Ive changed coils and [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-chevy/). It only does it maybe once a week, my car will get shaky and light will come on but then goes off. Outside of this, my car is also making a grinding noise when im accelerating from a stop and stops after I speed up and gear shifts. My car is hesitating or I guess the term is feels like its slipping when changing in low gears. The rpm sometimes goes high before t&e gear shifts. Its automatic transmission. I also sometimes hear a sloshing bubbling noise when accelerating from a stop. Mechanic's Assistant: How many miles are on the Chevrolet? Is it the original transmission? 2017 hyundai elantra. 118,000 miles. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Spark yourself? What have you tried so far? A mechanic changed the coils and spark plugs. It didn't fix the problem
