I have just bought a vti civic and a problem has surfaced that I didnt notice when purchasing. Its making alot of noise when reversing I mean alot!! it sounds very rough. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing it?

 

With all the people on this forum can nobody give a guess as to what is the problem.

 

Bump

 

When you say sounds 'rough' can you describe the sound further? The situation sounds like you may have to pull the trans. and inspect the gears making sure the change forks are engaging properly.

 

Like a loud grinding and whining noise

 

Well, whining noise? Is it similar to the reverse noise that a transmission usually has? Transmissions whine in reverse because the gear is straight cut. As for the grind......hmmm.....you've got me stumped.....anyone else have thoughts on this without opening the trans.?

 

does it grind going into reverse and then whine? depending on when you are trying ot engage reverse like under a load or not fully stopping could cause it to grind a little going into gear and the whining is normal all Hondas do it much like if you hear one start up they all sound the same

 

are you fully engaged in reverse, sometimes hondas need a little encouragement to get into reverse, atleast the ones that ive owned, and if they arent fully in reverse they will make a grinding noise

 

Its defently fully engaged. the faster you go back the louder the grinding noise and also the whining which is like the reverse whin but alot louder
