I have a 2000 honda civic ex sedan....

Other then oil changes, air filters replacements, and rotating tires I have done nothing else... I'm about to hit 50,000 miles....and have noticed something..

1. there is a low rumble kinda similar to what kids with them catback exhausts sound like, in other words a "homemade" tuffer exhaust sound, when I changed the oil, I was underneathe and it sounds like its not coming from the muffler but rather the shiny pipe looking peace near the oil pan. any one have any ideas as to what this is?

2. I have also noticed that it seems not to have as much power? Or sometimes it like catches....the transmission I believe, like I'll give it gas and it slowly goes then it "catches" and it kicks forward abrubtly. What could this signify?


3. How often should one do a transmission oil change as stated I'm about to hit 50k miles.... Also can one do a transmission oil change or must it be taken and serviced at a shop?

4. This car is less then 3 years old yet already my A/C is not very cold at all, its barely a touch above cold? I know a/c's need rechargin every so often but on a 2000 Civic already? On a side note I rarely and barely used my a/c thinking the less I use it the longer it would last?

5. where online can I get maintenance schedule sheets? I dont' have access to my manual so I don't know whats up with my maitenance schedule?

6. Another problem is my windows they are pretty weak, with the back rear left one barely closing....is there anything I can do for it?


As stated my car is a 2000 honda civic, and I shouldn't think that it should have any problems? don't these cars last until like 150k miles or something? I hope yall can help me out

peace
