alright this sometimes goes away after driving the car, but i can definately tell right away there is a popping noise that goes on after pushing the clutch in, and then upon releasing it it pops up until the engage point. I feel it in the pedal too. I can hear it even more distinctly when I do it slow. Should I go have this looked at?

 

sounds like a throw out bearing to me

 

solution?

 

you have to pull off the tranny, then look at the throw out bearing.
you may only have to lubricate the throw out bearing to get it to stop clicking, however, i would suggest to just get a new one ($50-60) and when you reinstall the bearing, MAKE SURE IT IS LUBED UP WELL.

this should fix your problem, good luck

 

uhhh lol, the most ive ever done was, change my rotors, pads, and put a cold air intake in. do you mind helping me?

LOL, it's really not that bad, I would def suggest getting a repair manual, that will help you the most.

as far as the actual job itself, it is pretty basic stuff, you are just unbolting a lot of things (small tedious tasks). I would also suggest having an engine hoist, it makes the job much easier if you have a hoist to hold the engine while you are pulling the tranny off. HOWEVER, you can just support the engine with a jack, just make sure you put a block of wood in between the jack and the engine oil pan so that you do not damage anything.

basically here is what needs to be done:
-you will need to "unplug" the battery (disconect the neg terminal)
-remove air intake, resonator, etc. etc.
-remove the 2nd half of the exhaust manifold (bottom half)
-remove both axles
-detach the hard lines from the clutch slave cylinder
-REMOVE THE STARTER (i forgot to do this my first tranny job and i could not figure out why the engine and transmission would not separte LOL)
-unplug a few wires (i think the VSS=Vehicle speed sensor, and the back up light switch)
-jack the car up high enough to drop the tranny out of the bottom of the car
-drain tranny fluid
-support engine (engine hoist is your friend)
-support tranny while you unbolt the tranny from the engine (a floor jack works well)
-unbolt everything and detach tranny
-replace throw out bearing and LUBE everything up
-put everything back together

*******the job is really not that hard, if you have all of the tools you can do it in about 3 hours if you know what you are doing. also it helps to have someone else to help you put the transmission back onto the engine. GET A MANUAL, IT WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH PICTURES AND TORQUE SPECS.

if you have anymore ? just PM me, and if i left anything out someone please feel free to add to the list of steps.

good luck

 

you will also save a lot of money by doing it yourself and learn a lot about your car

just give youself a day or two just incase you do not have everything you need

 

sounds to me like you need to the "squeeky clutch fix" from 7thgencivic.com before you do all that other work.

 

IF you do try to do this yourself, GET THE MANUAL!!! You really HAVE to have it if you want to get everything right. Follow all the torque specs and give yourself 2 days, incase you get hung up on something. I had to swap trannies when I did my accord swap. All together it took about 4-5 hours, but the engines where out of the car. I'm not sure how much lighter the D17 tranny is than the F22, but if it's not much lighter you REALLY want someone to help you. Good luck man, it may seem overwhealming at first but once you're done you'll feel good as hell.

 

i checked out that post on 7thgen about whether its the throwout bearing or the input bearing, and by the description of it, it didn't sound like it was either of them because I don't hear anything when I have have it pushed in or out. The noise is only actually made when your letting the clutch out after pushing it in up until the engage point. i need to be positive this is the problem

 

Like I said, you need to lubricate the shift fork, its on the outside of the trans. I cant find the squeeky clutch link cause that site sucks however, heres a quick explaination.

On the front of the trans next to the header, youll see a small rubber boot about 4 " long with the clutch cable going into it. You need to pull this boot and spray the hell out of it with white lithium grease, wd40 will not work. Put the boot back and step on the clutch, even with the car off, to work the grease in. WaLa, no more anyoning creaks and squeeks.

 

thankfully my warrenty covered it, they said it was something loose in the exhaust system and the resonance was causing it, and also they lubed up the tranny for me. I got everything done. yay.

just for future reference, the D series trannies are not that heavy. 50-60 lbs. that still does not mean that they are not a Bi%^h to line back up with the engine.
