Here's the story drove the car home from the gym and punched the car a through 1st and snd gear then this noise pops up. NO engine check light on and i feel this vibration on my clutch and this weird clanking noise coming from my car. When i press on the gas and accelerate the noise is gone. Once i let off the clutch the noise starts to happen again.

Here's a video i just took today regarding the weird noise from the car.

Before the flaming begins i researched this noise and i've been hearing people say its the timing chain tension or the valves.

Would appreciate some input from some professional help plz.

 

oh and the car is only driven as a weekend car. has only 17,000 miles on it

 

some help from people who've had this similar experience, would like to hear some suggestions.

 

I wish i could help but this is like calling your doctor and asking him what's wrong with you over the phone 'can't do".

I will suggest you to take it to a local shop and start from there it's pretty hard to figure out what's wrong from just the video.

Axle or diff problem? I can't get to youtube at work so am taking a shot in the dark. Is you car lowered?

 

sounds horrible...has to be something in the drivetrain...doesn't sound engine related.

 

you are right my friend clutch failed on a 17k mile car. honda isn't willing to replace. Clutch is burnned from wear and tear supposedly?

 

sounds like more than just a clutch being "burnt out". Sounds like the clutch, pressure plate, or something else has come apart.

I went through a clutch in 19k myself...that included ***** the wall driving 95% of the time though...

I would be careful with who you choose to do the new clutch...i personally don't trust honda to do it, i have heard to many horror stories. If you have a friend that works at a shop or something then i would prefer you use someone that you can trust. I trust myself so i did both of my clutches myself

 

Actually found out a bolt on the the flywheel fell off. thats whats making the noise Honda talking about burned clutch my ***!! beware!!

 

Did you buy this car new? If so you have a pretty good case to get Honda to cover it.

yeah, thats pretty scary...if it came completely off it could cause a lot of damage to your car, and more importantly yourself.
