Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2006This is weird....what is this noise?
Hope someone might be able to guide me in the right direction: 1993 Honda Civic...had noise in clutch...when I push the clutch, it had a classic "release bearing" noise" except the weird thing is...the noise happens when I DEPRESS the clutch pedal, NOT release it....I took out the tranny, and changed the release bearing...the old one was obviously bad, sounded like an old roller skate when I spun it, and had play...I thought for sure that was the problem. When I put it all back together...EXACTLY the same noise! Here's the weird part: the noise is ONLY there when the pedal is depressed in NEUTRAL...no other gears. The only other time you hear is is while coasting in 1st gear, but not if I depress the pedal in 1st or any other gear. If I am stopped and idling in any gear with the pedal depressed there is NO NOISE, if I move the shifter into neutral, the noise starts... ANY SUGGESTIONS? Help would be greatly appreciated. Could it be Pilot bearing? or internal tranny problem? Thanks The proper way to test a throwout bearing is to press on it, in the same direction as when the clutch is depressed, and then turn it. If you don't load them up a little bit, they will appear loose and can make noise. Pilot bearings are pretty cheap. Internal transmission problems are almost always expensive. I am thinking maybe pilot bearing.

My '83 has a similar noise and I just turn up the radio a bit...

It's probably the tranny, and a fresh bath of MTF might be the cheapest way of finding out. 'Curly' {snip} > ANY SUGGESTIONS? Help would be greatly appreciated. Could it be Pilot > bearing? or internal tranny problem? Why didn't you replace the pilot bearing when you replaced the TO bearing? The MT in my '97 civic was making all kinds of strange noises at all different times. It also jerked quite a bit when starting in first and even a little in second. When I pulled it apart it turns out the pilot bearing was installed incorrectly which in turn jacked up the input shaft bearing. I ended up putting in a used tranny and it was like driving a brand new car. Grumpy got it right. -Pete > Hope someone might be able to guide me in the right direction: > 1993 Honda Civic...had noise in clutch...when I push the clutch, it had [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > bearing? or internal tranny problem? > Thanks Heh...
