Also I forgot to mention.. Once it starts doing the "noise", It stops once I push the gas, and bring the RPMs up a bit.

Does anyone else agree with him and think that it could be the throw out bearing?


^ Also when you say "adjust the clutch" what exactly do you mean? The clutch was installed at a profesional clutch shop back in 05.


I know some one knows what the problem can be.

I know that you said that you think it's the throw out bearing, but I just wanted to get some other people opinions before basing everything off of one persons opinion.

in my expierence i have found that the through out bearing makes noise with the cluctch out and enging running and when you push it in the noise goes away i also know that there is a bearing inside the tranny (unsure which one) but it will make the same noise with the clutch out and go away when you push it in i suggest taking out the tranny and replacing the through out bearing with a honda oe one because it is fairly simple to do and if it dosent go away then i would start looking into new/used trans or a rebuild (i have seen aftermarket bearings make noise out of the box thats why i say oe through out bearing)

Damn, so everyone agrees on Throw Out Bearing..

I was hoping it was something easier, or something that was normal..

About how much is it to get the bearing replaced?

MrEm1_ek.. You said your car has the same problem, do you mean it makes the same noise that I described?


And to the last guy, I live in Florida, it says it right under my name but thanks anyways.

Okay someone told me that it could be the tranny just "winding down". I have never heard of this, is this what it can be?
