Is it knocking? Did you check your oil?

same thing on my 94 coupe...happens from 2k to like 2700...just put in higher octane gas and let it clean itself out...worked for me

Ek9_6

yea i checked the oil it was fine..the sound seems to be coming from the tranny..also in 5th gear theres no sound but in every other gear there is..i recently put in a new clutch and pressure plate hoping it would also fix the problem..but it didnt. to be honest i really didnt check out the fly wheel..do u guys think it could be the fly wheel..???

i had the same problem when i got my car new from the dealer. i had them check it out and they said it was normal.. i took it to two dealers, so if it is the same thing then it is normal.

Ek9_6

um..i dont think so..this is my third civic i owned and it never made this scratchy sound

al3e

scratchy? or raspy? maybe you muffffflaaa.....?

Ek9_6

scratchy definately not the muffler..

trust me just try putting in a tank of 93 octane

Ek9_6

wow 93 the highest we have normally around here is 91..i think theres a place about 20 mins from me that carries 92 but not 93..

Ek9_6

i dont think its the motor..i sounds lik its coming from the tranny..i recently put a new clutch in..but didnt check the fly wheel..can the noise be from the flywheel needing to be resurfaced..???

Put your car up on jack stands, get underneath it and look at your exhaust manifold heatshields. Give them a few shakes and see if you can replicate the sound. My CX was doing the same thing and that what it was. Hope this helps.

*EDIT* If it is indeed your heatshields, just rip them off, I did it and have yet to experience any ill effects.

will do..its worth a try..thanks

my civic did the same thing. it was my main shaft bearing in the transmission. the bearing keeps the shaft from moving. so if it is the bearing, it is better to go ahead and fix it now, because if you let it go it will eventually put a hole in the transmission case. i had to get my tranny rebuilt. just pray that it ain't the same as mine, cause it cost $1500 to get it rebuilt.

Ek9_6

if it is the bearing how much do they usually run..and if the bearings are the problem what would other area that i should look into to avoid future damage...just a quick question as well..does a damaged bearing effect the clutch and shifting because my clutch and shifts are smooth..perfect actually
