Hi,

Long time reader first time writer... I have a '98 Accord EX 4cyl with 120k miles AUTO. When I put it to reverse, after 2-3 minutes of warming up, while engine is still in "higher" RPM mode, I hear a loud noise and I feel the car shakes a bit.

Do you guys think it is engine mounts?

Thanks!

 

Bump to this question, i have a 00' accord ex (coupe) v6 and when the engine is cold, the first shift into reverse shakes the car. (sorry to ***** your thread)

 

Just to follow up... the car is at the mechanic's and he's saying that engine mounts are OK. He's not seeing anything wrong. I am asking him to wait until the car cools off so he can hear the noise.

 

intereseting. Post up what he determins to be the cause

 

He did not find anything wrong with the mounts or transmission. Replaced pads/rotors and wheels though

I did a search on the web and that thum noise / shakes seem to be an often occurrence. Unfortunately, I did not see any fixes for that... except for $2500 trans replacement.

Honda recalled 00-02 accords but not 98s .

Giving the car to my inlaws so we'll see how long it lasts.

 

ya i know they recalled the 00-02 but i have 116 XXX on mine so no good for me. owe welll, still shifts smooth
