Lately sometimes when i get the car moving, the clutch makes this rubbing sound. The closest sound i can think of is the Chubaca off of starwars...that growlong sound he makes except its not loud like that at all and its a smoother higher pitched sound(its def made from the clutch rubbing).

Also, it seems like that the clutch pedal needs to be put out most of the way for the clutch to grab.

I am wondering if I should change my clutch or wait. i am wondering because i am moving in a little while and i dont want to have to try to do a clutch job somewhere else while I have a garage right now.

 

i have know idea what your talking about...but.


does it slip under load??

not that i know of but i dnt want to get that far that its slipping. the clutch makes this resonating sound when i start to let the clutch out

 

bump

 

Yea, I am having the same problem. when I release my clutch to let it hit the sweet spot it makes squaking/whine'n noise. Especially when I put it in reverse and release the clutch slowly so the car can move. It squeak like hell. I am wondering if its the tranny or the clutch that is doing this. BUMP FOR HELP!

 

Is there anyway you could record the actual sound? That sounds knarly.

 

Another good way you can tell:

While cruising, lay your foot on the clutch.

If it starts to slip, with not much pedal travel, that is a way to tell if it is worn

Rough engagements, chattering, and alot of pedal travel needed to engage are also signs of a worn clutch

 

the noise.....its the input shaft bearing in the tranny.....when u buy a new clutch kit there will be a new one in there...just replace whole clutch

clutches don't come with an input shaft bearing, they come with a pilot bearing and a release bearing, so if your ISB is messed up then buying a new clutch will do nothing.

find out if your ISB is really the cause of your problems, if it is then a new one will have to be ordered from honda.

 

how would i know for sure that it is the ISB?

by driving your car. with the clutch pedal released (clutched fully engaged), start building up revs. generally, you will start to hear a whining noise coming from the tranny, if this noise goes away when you disengage the clutch (press pedal down) then its most likely your ISB.

 

yes, Its your CLUTCH being warn out. I am certain, because I took my car to my dad's shop and worked on it today. Same exact problem you describe.
