added another ride + tranny question

yea i just put a downpayment on another honda today :D its a rusty piece but its gonna be my project while my civic is my commuter! I should be picking it up thursday so I will post pictures then!

Now for my tranny question...when I accelerate the rpm goes up and all of a sudden this wierd noise kicks in like grinding metal (its not that loud just like a bearing is messed or something) it happens in second or sometimes third, anyone got a remedy?

Yeh sounds like your throw out bearing is goin out.

id say a bad synchro, cuz the bearing would be making noise in every gear change.

dude i have the same problem and i let me honda mechanic friend drive it and it didnt make the noise, its like when you get high in rpms for me like maybe after 5500-6000, the acceleration gets noticeably louder and way different sound like u said like a grinding type thing maybe, if anyone can tell us what this for sure itd be appreciated, also is this something i have to worry about right now like something that might go out soon??????

Its not the synchros. He said when he accelerates not changing gears. Its gotta be the throw out bearing cause my friends '00 ex is doin the samething and my bros 92 accord.

ok so throw out bearing, what options do i have to fix this? it seems to be getting worse?

uh, replace the throwout bearing :hehehe:

Check your trans oil level also... Cant hurt to check;)

But I agree, probably throwout bearing. Do a clutch while your in there. Might as well....

i got the clutch replaced 2 years ago :( im pretty sure its the throw out bearing...is it in the tranny or more towards where the clutch and flywheel is? sorry im not too sure about this one
