alex37211 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Lately I've noticed a sound coming from my motor/tranny. It sounds almost like the clatter of a diesel engine or like a motor that's knocking, but it's only when it's really cold and I first start driving and it's only when the car is in gear. It's not my motor, cause I revved it up in neutral and it doesn't make the noise. But when I'm in gear and giving it gas, it makes the noise. Also, it's become harder to put it in 5th while it's cold too. Any ideas? (d15b7 w/manual trans) (95 civic hatch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 prolly a differential. you make want to check how much fluid is in it. it may be low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vr4girl Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 or change the fluid. may be getting old . or how about the throw out bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknskulls Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 sounds like a throw out bearing had one go out on me before on my s10. just get a new clutch kit and replace it all, thats your best bet. since you have to take it apart anyways. it will cost you about $100-$150 for the kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Sounds like the input shaft bearing starting to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vr4girl Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 yeah. to me that sounds like the throw out bearing. thats like $30 at the most at advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Sounds like the input shaft bearing starting to fail. This is the correct answer. Replace both of the mainshaft bearings and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Same thing happened to my hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Same thing happened to my hatch. What could happen if I allow it to persist? Could it develop into a transmission problem? Or is it just the clutch that's in danger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 what could hapen is , the retainers that hold the balls in place in the inner and outer races of the bearing , eventually(if they havent already) will come out and get chewed up by the tranny. than your bearings balls will be floating free , very no good. if those balls find thier way out of the bearing , bye bye tranny. not to mention the added play in the mainshaft itself puts heat on everything else.
