Really bad noise
I have my stock 14 inch tires and rims on my civic. When i am driving around 60 there is this humming sound like the same tire sound the huge trucks make. When i press ont he brake pedal pretty hard it gets like 5 times louder and starts to shake a little bit. My brake pads have about 10% life in them, can that be the problem? The wheels are torqued to spec.

Re: Really bad noise
Humming could be cupped or feathered tires. Do they look good?
The shaking while braking is usually warped rotors.

The tires are really old. Me and pops found out it was something with the tranmission. I am going to get a tranny fluid chagne tommorow.

Re: Really bad noise
Changing the fluid will not fix an internal trans problem, it's likely to make it worse.
I agree with both comments from CivicSiRacer. Might even be a wheel bearing. Noises are hard to fix without hearing since everybody's description is different. |

I am pretty sure the fluid has not been changed for 144k miles.

Re: Really bad noise
Like Bullshifter said....
"Changing the fluid will not fix an internal trans problem, it's likely to make it worse." ...and instead of getting it changed...try doing it yourself. |

Re: Really bad noise
Your best off leaving it alone and if it needs fluid just top it off. Remember Honda transmissions are checked with the engine off.
If you really think it's the trans I suggest taking to a trans shop for proper diagnosis and recomendations. If they won't change the fluid I don't rec. doing it yourself either. I still think it's a wheel bearing or bad tire. |
