Hoping somebody's got an idea

[Minivek]

Gonna explain a series of little things that are bugging me or gettin my attention. First, when I push the brake pedal I get a small screeching sound when I get to the end of the push (at a certain point down, I get a scraping noise like a rusty cable scraping). this happens when I'm stopped or rolling and I don't think its the brakes pads or rotors or alignment cuz everything is brand new and well installed. Then, lately when I push the clutch pedal down I get a slurping sound or like a something rubbing sound... but if I depress the pedal a few times it goes away for a few seconds and then comes back... doesn't seem to affect anything yet.... and finally sometimes it's really hard to put in first... happens rarely and more often under heavy and hot city driving conditions... it's really hard to put in first gear from stop, while driving everything ok and sometimes it grinds when going into reverse but rarely.... I almost have to ram the shifter into place sometimes and THAT can't be good.... Please help solve these peeves helpful people.

i know with metallic pads you'll get a scraping sound or a while, but other than tat i dont know

I really think the brake thing is not related to pads, it did make the noise at first cuz the pads were new, but no it sound as if it were a cable related to brakes... or maybe something binding in the mechanism.... it even does the noise when the vehicle is stopped and I'm just pushing on the pedal.

By the way, there is also a noise coming from what I assume is the suspension but who knows... it's like the chattering noise an old pickup does when going over bumpy streets.....
