hi im new to this and i have a issue with my 98 honda civic... its a jdm d15 and a 5 speed tranny... the problem is there is a weird noise coming from my tranny.... it doesnt make the noise all the time.. sometimes in first always in third and sometimes in 4th... it makes a rubbing like noise.. not sure if its my tranny or my clutch... the noise goes away when i push the clutch in as well. if you know what is the issue please let me know

I am taking my 96 civic in next week to have the whole tranny rebuilt because the syncronizer is malfunctioning and i will get similar sounds and it even progressed to grinding when shifting into first gear unless the car is stopped. i hate trannies! relatively cheap parts, but the rebuild labor never is. my advice... if you have to rebuild the tranny. fix everything at once.

so pretty sure its not the clutch then... why not buy another tranny then... it would be alot cheaper lol and if you know how you can put it inyourself

True i could put a whole new tranny in, but i don't have the means nor the time to do so really. Plus with something that critical to the cars function, i want someone else to do it so it is covered under their warranty and they will fix it should anything happen between now and a year from now. anyways, good luck. FYI the guy i go to quoted me 560 for the labor alone and then parts are additional. just to give you a rough estimate.
