i just bought a 93 Civic hatch that needs a new "Tranny" the guy said; so im about to buy a new transmission; because when i put it in neutral and slowly let off the clutch i hear a bad griding noise EVEN IN NEUTRAL. when putting the car on the flatbed i heard some griding noise when pushing the car back so im still guessing its the transmission. I tried to drive it by, of course, putting it in first gear but the car doesnt move and it sounds like the e-brake is up and your trying to drive. And i cant put it in 5th gear but all the other gears are fine soooo... is it the clutch or the transmission?

o and also when putting it in neutral and letting off the clutch its kinda like having it in gear and letting off the clutch with no gas... the engine is about to cut off

 

no1 knows?

 

anyone?

 

it sounds like a throwout bearing. and/or the clutch disk or pressure plate is dead

 

so its not the transmission?

 

no its the tranny. you moved the car while its in neutral and it makes a grinding noise right? it cannot be the throw out bearing.

 

no no the car wont move when its in neutral but it makes a griding noise and the motor sounds like its about to cut off because im gettin off the clutch

 

that is totally the tranny

 

now ppl say its the tranny... i dont know what to buy now

 

take the tranny off and buy a new used one they are cheap...

While it's off you can look at the bearing and the clutch plate.

You wouldn't buy something before taking it off anyways would you?

If you take it to a shop to get done, then ask the mechanic to SHOW you what needs to get bought before you buy anything. Rebuilding he tranny is going to be more expensive then buying one, so don't tell anyone to rebuild it unless you're doing some specific gearing or putting carbon syncros or something...

 

werd i got a 98 ex tranny for 50 bux still work great going on a year now

 

most likely broken spider gears in the differntial.

 

too bad u live in texas eh nfinitecc =X

yea im about to take it off today or tomorrow and see whats the deal... im prolly gonna end up buying a new clutch and tranny but i dont want to spend that much money

 

hey i am ineterested in that tranny..

bird

 

yea i would agree with taking it off first or taking it to a mechanic. It "could" be the clutch disc being done and the metal rivets hitting the pressure plate, but i really think the trans is done. Start calling junkyards to grab a trans, they aren't very expesive, U-pull it places are even better. You do the work, and you save the money.

 

yea i just bought another tranny...
its a 94 del sol SI tranny for $50 bucks. Only thing bad about it is that the guy said it pops outta 2nd gear during hard shifts but it will only be temperary untill i get money for full swap
