So this is more of a tech thread but the civic forum for 2012s is kinda dead, anyhow...

My car is making a really bad whining noise when I release the clutch in first. It does it like 1 out of 5 times. I'm pretty sure its the input shaft bearing based on my research.

I brought it to Honda to diagnose and they said the didn't hear the sound but decided to grease the rod in the clutch master cylinder anyway.

So now the car still makes the original noise plus it doesn't grab like it used to. The engagement point seems to have also changed.

So I'm wondering, did they not bleed the clutch or something after greasing the CMC?

Whatever they did made 1 problem into 2.

I want to say there is a TSB on this issue but I'd have to look it up at work on Monday.

Alldata doesn't list a TSB about it...it does sound like an ISB, but an ISB going to **** after only 2 years is insanely unlikely.

Yea I'm not sure, I thought I saw something on ISIS but who knows, Hondas got so many damn tsb's and recalls these days.

sound like whoever test drove your car burn the clutch down.

Was it raining and/or damp out? If so, completely normal.

What? lol

MSchu

they may have made 1 problem into 2 as you say... but the solution is still the same. sounds like a bearing to me.

look like ******* bird got inside. lol

never put a 150hp clutch in a 300hp engine.

I doubt they would burn out the clutch test driving it once, even if they dropped the clutch a couple times it should be okay. Probably did that about 100 times in my old civic and the clutch lasted. Now that I'm old I haven't done it once in this car.

I almost thinking they just screwed up the adjustment when they lubbed the rod. I bet they pulled it out and screwed something up.

I'm gonna try and bring it back tomorrow and see what they say.

So I never got a chance to bring the car in over the weekend but I have an appointment Monday.

Oddly enough I asked the guy on the phone if they would accept a video of the issue and he said by all means.

I'm going to create one soon and post a link to follow.

Edit something awesome in the middle of it. Like 1.3 seconds of fatty poon.

Came here to post that I hate the phrase "anyhow" its super ghey.




Also do this. O

Or at the end put the dude from hangover saying. " ha! Gggggggggaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy"

TonyRomo

Lol I almost typed anyway instead.

Anyway, I was thinking of adding some subliminal messages so even if they don't fix my car I'll get back at them by making them drink coke or smoke cigarettes.

Tell me about it - On my old 2012 Si...2nd gear started getting crunchy and the sunroof started sticking with only 18k on it. I traded that thing in quickly.

Ass$nyper

This could be fixed by buying a camaro.

BauleyCivic

You got rid of it already? What did you get?

Or did you tell me already and I forgot?

I never created a video because when I went to try the car wasn't making the noise, go figure. I think it has something to do with the weather warming up again.

Brought it to the dealership anyway and they heard the noise. It was diagnosed as a bad throw out bearing which they're replacing under warranty.

Should I be pushing for a new clutch? I read a few threads about how a bad TOB will wear the clutch. I'm assuming they will check for significant wear when they pull everything apart.

20 bucks says they're sitting in front of the car spraying wd40 at bellhousing lubing up that bearing.
