Lately when driving around my car makes a scratching sound when i let off the throttle and am still in gear but if i put it in neutral then the sound stops, it is the loudest between 60 and 70 mph, anyone have any idea?

 

tranny in guessing?

hmm... no sound in neutral...
and sound when in gear... loudest at 60-70 mph....
maybe ur bearing broke..
my bro's EK had this happen.... but not at those speeds. it was only 1st and 2nd gear
he had his tranny taken out, and they found out that those bearings came loose and was hitting against the gears when in gear.

just pull ur tranny out and see if there is anything that's not supposed to be...

 

maybe the main bearin on the tranny... its not knuckles bearings bc it will be constant.. its not trow out bearing bc it will only sound rough when letting clutch out... its not differential main one bc it will be when tires rotate with the diff,,, and u say it doesnt.. its weird... only when letting gas go?? hmmmmm u sure it doesnt sound while using trotle.... give more info... we need more to fig out

 

no not when on the gas more than like an 1/8 throttle, its a 2000 si tranny.

 

k
say ur car year, model , trim
what engine, tranny (u said it already)
mounts?? axles? etc...

 

The car is a '96 hatch with a 98 GSR motor, Skunk manifold, CTR intake cam, intake, header, 2000 Si tranny, ACT Maxx Xtreme clutch, and
Clutchmaster flywheel.... Am I missing anything Albert?

it has to be somethign realated to the tranny that fo sho

my old 4 speed uses to make a winning sound while gaining speed and letting gas go... with gear speed... had to be something inside.... but i never found out... did the tranny came off a car that had an accident or something?

 

my tranny makes a wierd whirring sound when i sit still and have the car in nuetral. when i push the clutch in it stops......throw out bearing? thats what my dad said it may be so figured i would ask

its a 89 honda civic LX

 

thats pretty much it you got it! oh stock gsr axles

 

Do you really notice this when you are stopped??? That is completely normal.. When the car is in neutral and the clutch is engauged it spins the mainshaft... The only thing that is stopping your car from moving is that all the gears are in their neutral position.... Like wise when you set in the clutch it stops the shaft from spinning. If the sound is pretty bad try doin a tranny oil change... When a throw out bearing normally starts to go out you'll hear more of a clicking type sound.. Let us know if anything changes

 

yea its pretty noticeable sittin still haha
i guess cuz i dont have a radio?
anyways thanks ill try that!
