Hey, can anyone give me a better clue? I keep hearing my 98 Prelude making a weird noise when I downshift. It doesn't happen all the time, but only on certain random occasions, and when it happens you can hear it from both outside the car and inside it. The best way to describe the noise is if you've seen "Dumb and Dumber." You know the part where Jim Carey asks if the other guy wants to hear an annoying sound, and then he makes that annoying sound. That's very much like the sound that I hear from my Prelude. I've asked my friends who know a good deal about cars who have been in the car with me when "the noise" so conveniently graced us with its presence. One of my friends, whose torn apart two cars and built them back up again, has never heard that sound ever before. He doesn't know where to start. Another one of my friend's best guess is that it might be a belt. However, neither of them has really worked on a Honda so they aren't too confident about their ventures. So I come before all of you to ask if any of you has ever encountered, or heard of, such a situation. I don't know where to start, and its not that big of a problem (I don't think?), because the Lude still runs like a champ. But like all of you, I imagine, I just don't like to hear weird noises coming from my car that I don't know about or that I haven't strategically put there. Thanks in advance for any and all of your suggestions.

 

Maybe your grinding your gears when you shift

 

I imagine you are just joking. But seriously, if the problem was as simple as that, or something like that, I wouldn't have posted anything about it. I'd like to think that I know enough about cars to know when I'm grinding gears. But thanks for trying.

 

How did you get my old username?

 

I don't remember the sound from Dumb & Dumber. Is the sound coming from the driverside? Maybe a subtle odd humming noise?
