If your car has a manual transmission, and it over rev's in every other gear as well, than no doubt it is your clutch. Other wise it is your transmission.

When I shift my car I have noticed a knocking noise. Do I need a tune up?
When shifting a manual (or standard) transmission on a vehicle, if you hear excessive knocking noises immediately after shifting, you are probably:1) Shifting into the next highest gear too soon, or2) Shifting into the wrong gear - for example, going from 2nd to 4th gear, or3) Not running the engine fast enough after shifting to the next highest gear, or4) Your engine is out of tune if you know you're doing steps 1,2 and 3 correctly

What is wrong when shifting to second gear makes noise but shifting to other gears are normal?
Synchronizer maybe. not sure if that's how you spell it. I grind a little downshifting into second but not when shifting into any other gears. A mechanic buddy told me that's probably what it was.
Why wont your manual 2002 Saturn shift out of 1st gear?
The first cause of the jump out from one to other gear is the loose shifter fork, which connects the shifting linkage and gears of the transmission. The second cause is loose shifting linkage itself, which connects the gear shifting knob and shifting fork. The shifting linkage and shifting fork become loose due to the rapid changing of gears from one gear to other at high speed of vehicle. The third cause is the misalignment of shifting linkage to the shifting fork.

Why won't my Jeep CJ5 go into 3rd gear?
The biggest problems of why a jeep wont go into third gear is either that the shifting fork for third gear is worn or bent or the sycronizer or gear itself is worn out and needs to be replaced. Once you take the top of the transmission off where the shifter is located you can see the whole transmission gears and inspect the shifting forks. A general rule of thumb is to make sure the transmission is in second gear before taking the top off. This will make it easy to take off and rerattach the top of the transmission cover and align the shifting forks.
