okay so my 97 civic hatch just broke down. so i need help in figuring it out what exactly it is. well it started that the clutch didnt feel the same and i couldnt throw it in gear...then when it just slow down cuz it was in nuetrel i couldnt throw it any gear except reverse and it started making like a dragging noise even though i wasnt dragging anything. so i pulled it home with my foot on the clutch all the way and it rolled fine and no grinding but if i let go of the clutch pedal it would make noise
if i can get response it would be greatly appreciated thanks

 

does it make the noise when the clutch is out in neutral.

 

yeah it started to

 

could be a bad throw out bearing mine is realy noisy and makes it hard to go into revers. ( id replace mine but i am getting a new trans soon) try putting it in forth then in revers that seems to do the trick for my tranny.

 

well i had that noise b4 and i was told it was somehting bearing and it was hard to throw into reverse but now the noise sounds badddd
and i cant put any gears in and the clutch pedal doesnt feel the same. it feels like really soft

heres another thread about that noise i made earlier today irronically it had been doin it for a while and it had just been getting louder and louder

 

yeah like the other guy told you it sounds like a throw out bearing if it goes away when you put the clutch in (it takes puts pressure on the bearing so that it cant wilgle around and make noise) its not an expensive part but you need to remove the tranny to replace it. if you are on an older clutch you would probly want to do that at the same time. so you don't have to take the tranny out again when that starts to go.

 

so it broke down cuz of that bearing?
how much would it run if a mechanic did it?

 

i couple hours labor mostly to remove and reinstall the tranny

does the car still drive ok the clutch just feels diffrent?

if the clutch pedal is not pressed and you hear the noise is more likely the input shaft bearing not the throwout bearing. TOB makes a noise when the pedal is pressed because thats when its being used.

 

oh well now it just makes noise if the clutch isnt in...what would explain the different feelin in the clutch pedal and what is all that noise it makes now

 

the car doesnt go cuz i cant put in the gears

 

is the clutch feeling really soft or are you getting a vibration out of it

 

no vibration its soft now...what explains the noises now and the different feeling

 

have you checked the fluid lvl in the clutch reservoir

 

yeah thats fine

 

i got a trhow out bearing i could let go . in 323

well some are saying its throw out and some throw in so still unsure which is the prob but the car cant go any where with out it being pulled or towed thats for sure
thx though

 

well im out of ideas

if you got the money get it towed to the garage and have them look it over it hard to diagnose from a couple states away
if its a good garage they should be able to tell you what wrong without to much money invested in labor and may be they can get it fixed in that first hour of labor charge too.

hopefully its just a bearing the run between 10 and 40 dollars i believe

good luck man

may be some one else here has a better idea of whats going on

thanks for all ur help man.. im pretty sure its gonna be either bearing.

 

any other opinions

if you bring it to a shop, they will most likely recommend that you replace the clutch and all bearings at once.

oh okay that makes sense...so its surely the bearings? i just noticed that it started leaking a little bit of oil this morning, but its just very little and it didnt do it b4
