240 "chirps" when putting into first gear

    Just bought a 1993 240 5-speed wagon and on the drive home noticed an
    occassional chirp/squeak when moving into first or sometimes second
    gear. It doesn't always happen and it is very quiet and quick. Anyone
    have any ideas of what this might be?

    Thanks!

    Sometimes I get this too. I assumed that it was a tiny clutch noise,
    maybe from some slipping? It only happens when I'm pushing it a bit. I
    don't think that these cars are exactly peppy if you know what I mean..
    I've had my 240 wagon ('89) for about 3 years and this noise has not
    developed into anything bad (so far).
