Well after lusting for a 5th gen civic for years now, I finally got one.
But I noticed a funky noise coming from the trans ( I Belive) on take off.
It kinda sounds like a spaceship from the jetsons cartoon. I really havent gotten to drive the car much since I just got it today and I dont have plates on it yet.
Has anyone else had this occur? What is that damn noise? A broken eng/trans mount?
Info
Clutch replaced about 20k mi ago
CV axles appear to be in good shape
ARGH!!!! :evil:

my tranmission makes a weird noise too..(at least i think its my trans) but mine sounds like a lil pebble is hopping around in there ;x
 


funky sounds? like george clinton and the parliament funkadelic? does it sound like 'new spaceship' or 'mothership connection' or is it more of a 'supergroovalisticprosifunkstication'..... j/k

try changing the tranny fluid (use either lightweight synthetic or honda mtf) would be the easiest step and if it still makes noise, maybe you should take it to a tranny shop and have them atleast drive it and see what they think then go from there

The only thing I can think of is the throwout bearing. If you replace it go ahead and do your clutch and pressure plate. If they are still under warranty.
