Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / July 2009Rattling sound in transmission
I have a 1999 Honda Accord and suddenly I'm noticing a rattling sound coming from my transmission. Any ideas? Thanks. > I have a 1999 Honda Accord and suddenly I'm noticing a rattling sound coming > from my transmission. Any ideas? Thanks. You might take look at the exhaust heat shields before you do anything rash about the transmission. -jim >> I have a 1999 Honda Accord and suddenly I'm noticing a rattling sound >> coming from my transmission.

Get underneath and start tapping the shields with your fingertip. The rattly ones will be very obvious. I find ordinary worm-type hose clamps do wonders for shutting them up.

And I guess since they're really meant for plumbing (they're found in the plumbing department), they all seem to be stainless. If you're trying to wrap them around something really thick -- like a catalytic converter -- you can even join a couple of long ones together.

Does it happen when you are moving or also when you are stopped? Does it happen with the clutch out or just with the clutch in? If you hold the gearshift, does it stop? Is it in all gears or just some? --scott Signature"C'est un Nagra.

'99 V6 Accords were among those with the self-destruct feature built into the autos.

Which ain't sayin' much :-) * Acura debuted it first but the Accord put it out there for the masses to guinea pig.

Have you fed the Squirrels?When they don't get fed they wobble back and forth from hunger and make your timing belt shake and rattle your engine. > I have a 1999 Honda Accord and suddenly I'm noticing a rattling sound > coming from my transmission. Any ideas? Thanks. Your car is an old Honda beater, what do you expect? Most likely the heat balls have become dislodged and are now running loose in the transmission. Fill the transmission with a mixture of good quality hardwood saw dust and sewing machine oil. -- > >> I have a 1999 Honda Accord and suddenly I'm noticing a rattling sound [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > heat balls have become dislodged and are now running loose in the > transmission.
