Whats up guys and girls I have a problem with my car it seem to make a scraping noise when I let off the gas and the car slows down . It's a 98 civic ex d16 can anyone help

 

What kind of scraping noise?

Brakes dragging? Tires rubbing?

 

I'm thinking maybe something that has to do with my clutch because it sounds like its coming from my engine bay and when I step on the clutch i can't hear it

 

That sounds like a bad clutch throw out bearing.

 

Is that costly to repair?

 

its a pretty cheap repair if you do it at your house, but idk about how much a shop would charge, call around it wont hurt to ask

 

Could that have something to do with second gear poppin out and not goin in sometimes

 

It could also be a bad input shaft bearing. Mine did the exact same thing, except it wasn't so much of a "scraping" noise as it was medium-pitched rattle...its hard to describe. It basically sounded like a bad bearing, lol.

 

Noise only when clutch pedal depressed = throw out bearing

This is likely a separate problem - bad second gear synchro

 

He's saying the noise goes AWAY when he depresses the clutch pedal.

 

Oops. My misread. Thanks.

 

Yea it only happens when the clutch is out and the car is slowing down

 

Have you checked your transmission fluid level?

 

No lol this might seem dumb but I couldn't find a dip stick for it

 

Manual transmissions don't have a dipstick.
