Ok... (This is only sometimes) When my clutch catches at the "spot", right after this point I feel some kind of grinding, almost like I am dragging something under my car. The more I bog it the worse it does it. The thing is, it dosent do it all the time.

To tell the truth I have no clue what is causing this. All I can tell you is that I just recently started noticing it.

If this has anything to do with it, I just put on a Thermal R&D classic cat back, last week.

Please help me Honda-Tech. Thanks

 

Anybody??

 

Someone please help me....


BUMP

 

Try taking off the Thermal and see if the clutch stops making the grinding sound.

 

I know that I am asking you all for the answer.

but what will that solve??

Do you have any reasoning?

Thanks in Advance.

You mention putting the exhaust on and ask if it has anything to do with the problem. I then tell you to try removing it to see if its stops.

That is my point, why would I take a full cat back exhaust off (a pain in the ***) If I have no real reason for it.

I just asked if you knew what that would solve--apparently you dont know.

what do u mean by when you "bog it more" and the "spot" im not understanding you very well

 

"Bogging"--- For Example---Second gear 1500 Rpms.

"The Spot"---where your clutch starts to catch.

Now it does it more if I have been driving it hard.

 

It now is worse...

It girnds in First gear when the clutch grabs

When I have to get on the brakes hard

If I take a 90degree turn in second at about 10 or 15 It will grind

BTW: I have a stage 3 Clutchmasters Clutch and Clutchmasters lightweight flywheel.

My axles are also starting to pop.

Try this:

sit in your garage or annother level spot. At idle put the clutch in and leave the stick in neutral then blip the throttle pretty hard and listen. Then try the same thing only this time with the clutch engaged and listen to it as the revs come down.

next go out and put the car into 1st and get moving about 10 or 15 mph and then take your foot off the throttle but leave it in gear until the car starts to buck and is about to stall. Listen for the grinding.

If i had to take a wild guess I'd say you've got a problem with one of the bearings in the tranny. I had a faulty main bearing on my civic's tranny go out at 16k miles and it made some amazing grinding noises over the week or so it took to die.

 

Thanks for your help man I will try this.


My Haynes manual said ...

Symptoms: Grinding most pronounced when turning

Problem: Differential Bore in Tranny Case



bTW: My tranny grinds second sometimes, and third everytime.

Any more help or seggustions will me greatly appreciated.
