Tranny Problem!!! Help!!!

Hey guys, i was driving today and my first gear sounds madd wierd!!! It sounds like a scratching sound that has never been there before! and got louder as the day progressed, but it onlyhappens in 1st gear, well, maybe a tiny bit in 2nd, but i think thats something else, but 1st is like "sdjgsdgsghsklghkld!"

Do i make any sense? please help guys, any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Check that tranny fluid! sounds like you got no lube

Okay, i'll put in some lube in there tommorow, also another note, it happens in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, but MOSTLY in 1st and when i am just standing still, it makes a noise, but when i press the clutch, it goes away. Some one told me its some kind of bearing in the clutch, i think its called a release bearing or throwout bearing or something like that and that whoever installed my clutch aligned it wrong. Could this be it?

it could be one of those. MY boss has teh same thing wrong with his civic hx..the throwout bearing is out.

Sounds sort of like the same problem as mine. That is almost exactly how mine started out to be. I got told that it could be a number of different bearings, mainly the throwout bearing. Check out another thread on here named "Transmission making funny noises" or something like that. Someone listed all the bearings it could be in there.

Thanks guys, so its probably not one of my gears rite?

Thats definetly the throw out bearing.

Yea everyone tells me its my throwout bearing. but that makes now sense, because I just had the clutch and everything replaced about 6 months ago. Or it should have been replaced, don't know if the guy actually put it in or not.

Dont worry man, my guy replaced my clutch last month and this is happening, my friend told me that he might not have aligned the bearing.

and bingo was his name-o :D LOL. that is it exactly! have your guy put it in right and all should be good.

mine also makes that sound when i release the clutch

even if the throwout is bad dont worry, there pretty cheap and since he didnt fix it to begin with all you should have to pay for is the part.
