Guys I've got a 90 Civic sedan with a 5-speed and the tranny is making weird noises like the gears are worn out. I put new oil in it but doesn't really make a difference. Any remedies that'll help extend its life? Any special kind of oil like Lucas or anything that'll quiet it down some? Want to take it on a couple of hundred mile road trip from western NC to Blacksburg, VA but am a little leary that it might not make it and get me back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

 

It is my son's car. I don't really think you can hear it at idle. I'll check it out today. It is worse in first and second as I recall. Once you get it up to speed and everything equalized, it doesn't make so much noise. You just hear it when coming from a dead stop and going thru the gears as you accelerate.

 

Sounds just like mine--GM syncro mesh should quiet it, but it wont fix any problems. Does it grind as well?

 

Yeah pretty sure there is some grinding kinda noise, too.

 

Yea--toss in some syncro mesh. or just search around here for another trans--many can be found!
