sound when change gear 1-2
 

I drive honda civic sedan 2001 (106,000 km). It is manual gear
(stick). these days i hear a strange noise only when i change the gear
from 1 to 2 and the sound like dropping a metal dish in the floor?? it
is hard to explain the sound but i guess dropping a metal dish and
hear the echo of that .. it is the same sound i hear?? what could case
this probelm??

I am going to do Service D for my honda (according to Honda manual) do
you think they should test that problem (i have feeling that this
problem is grear or clech problem)

Thanks alot.

Re: sound when change gear 1-2
 

There is only a couple of hopes of a simple and easy fix - ensuring the
lubricant in the gearbox is up to the proper level (not a typical check but
they can do it quickly and inexpensively while the car is in the shop), and
checking out the gearshift linkage. If you are hearing a sharp "clang"
(which seems to be what you are describing) it must be coming from outside
the gearbox... like the shift linkage. Sounds from inside the gearbox will
be muffled; clunks, grinding, heavy bangs....

Does it happen only at a certain RPM? You may have a loose heat shield
on the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter. That's the only thing I
can think of that would make a sound like that. It may be a combination
of things during the time you're shifting to 2nd that is just right to
cause it to resonate.

Thanks for the reply.. yes it happend when i drive like 20-30km/hr or
when i drive lets say 60 and then slow down and the gear is still on
3rd then i hear that noise again.

Yeah check the heat shields, thermal cycles crack the welds and they
come loose. You can weld them back, but it works ok to put a screw in to
stop the rattle.
