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, or
2) Shifting into the wrong gear - for example, going from 2nd to 4th gear, or
3) Not running the engine fast enough after shifting to the next highest gear, or
4) Your engine is out of tune if you know you're doing steps 1,2 and 3 correctly

my grand am had an engine knocking noise. it was the intake manifold gasket was going bad. it was leaking coolant into my oil. look at your oil to see if it is a white milky color. if it is then you need a new manifold gasket which sucks. it takes a long time to do by yourself. or you can take it to a place that charges you $1000 to do. but if you can. do it yourself
