90 hatch dx, When I have it in neutral and the e-brake is on and the clutch is in it sounds pretty smooth then when I let it out (the clutch) it starts rattling a little bit. Is this normal?

 

please...

 

eh same thing with me, does it rattle in 1st and 2nd gear also? Something is loose in the engine, i was gona DIY with some friends but i fergot to do it. i fergot what it was, when i find out i'll let u know.

 

well see the whole damn car rattles like **** when I drive it. Not way to bad but ya know just a bit more than I expected, but yes it does rattle in 1st and 2nd then its smooth in 3rd. Also I think I'm missing a pulley for my ac compressor belt. theres only two pulleys, one is the compressor and the other is the pulley that runs it. The manual had a pic with three pulleys and there is a bolt that looks like its just missing a pulley so that it can adjust the belt. I'ma go take some pics of it and I'll post them tomorrow.

 

yeah it can probably be the timing belt. post up pics, i wana see. mines has the same problem runs smooth 3 and up.

 

if its an EF its going to rattle... just put an exhaust on there that covers it all up...

 

my ef9 tends to vibrate when i break going 60+
guessing that is a break or suspension issue. whats going on with that?

like, quiet w/ clutch pushed in, whirring/noisy with it out but in neutral?

check your tranny fluid-
if ok, input shaft bearing is probably on it's way out sometime in the future.

prolly take a lot more with it when it goes, but it usually gets pretty bad before it finally packs it in.

 

It's 15+ years old!!

 

it mite just be your Throw out bearing. cause i know in the morning when i go out to start my car up and let off the clutch ill hear a little noise but it doesn't last long for me

 

i have a 91 crx dx all stock. so what can it be? timming belt, exhuast, suspension, ball joint stuff??

 

um, my 84 cavalier had the same problem which is 7 years older than my civic and i took it to the shop and since then when i brake its actually smooth

and to be a smart ***, my civic is 14 years old ****... im only 3 years older than it
