Default transmisson noise.

OK so i was told by one my friends who work at Honda i had to fix a bearing that's in my transmission because when its not engage it makes a bad sound. when i engage the clutch well it goes away. and i also found out today that i have to replace my lower ball bearing because they are shot! and yesterday i drove 200 miles and came home and got a oil light i was like wtf! so i get out and check it and there's no flipping oil. i was freaking out. i took it to jiffy lube to get it change 2k miles ago because i was busy that day. i had ti put 3 quarts of oil in it and check it every time i stop. its good for now. i raised the car up and no leaks. where the hell is it all going? i cant smell oil being burned up nor have smoke coming from my exhaust. i was thinking maybe a blown head gasket. any ideas

i think your referring to your throw out bearing... should be an easy fix.

1st mistake is taking your car to jiffy lube... lol i would invest in a jack, stands, and an oil collector. i wouldn't trust anyone from jiffy changing my oil.

you should be checking your oil every other gas fill up to avoid these issues. if you just had an oil change sometimes the oil is so clean its hard to read. make sure your checking your oil before your car is warmed up to get a more accurate reading.

yes sir the throw out bearing i couldn't remember the name on the top of my head. i though i had to pull the tranny to fix this promblem on the ep3s? can anyone tell me and lol everyone told me that too about jiffy lube lol i was in a rush man. lol no the oil light wouldn't come on if there was pressure. i check there was none on the dip stick. then my friend check it and wacked man with it and said " THINK with YOUR DIPSTICK!" cuz i took it to jiffy lube.

Are you talking about the hub/knuckle bearing or the ball joint?

Just take it to a shop. It's not hard, but judging by how you type I wouldn't want you touching a ball joint.

not cool man. i work on cars at the shop and still learning everyone gotta start somewhere. i am always willing to learn new things. i have just never done a ball joint and i looked on (library.all-data pro) but it wasn't much help.

i not willing to take it to a shop because that's too much money and i like working on my own car.
