clutch questions and trans. repair-5spd questions
 

Hey all, i'm in search of putting new clutch in my car, not me but getting one installed...few ?'s. i have a 97 honda civ dx coupe, and just wanna get something better than factory cuz mine makes noise, aka squeaks, and has like 113k on it. Anywho, a trans. place is gonna have to put it in , and was wondering how much you think they'll charge. I'll ask mon, but any guesses? and im a nut on my clutch and trans, so should i, if i have the $ now, and my car's trans is pinging or something should i replace that too? will it be beneficial to do it while i do the clutch? SOrry im stupid, heh. Umm, and when i shift into 2nd gear, sometimes i get a grinding sound...new trans or should i just get the 2nd gear synchro. or whateva fixed? thanks, and please answer these ?'s

Is this a good deal here? and is the clutch release bearing the same as a throwout bearing?

Thanks so much

get a whole new tranny because the dx tranny is the worst tranny ive ever been near. the grinding could be the synchros or even just you grinding a gear? who knows... $5000 aint too much to sell, i got my 96 dx with 120k for $4900 and they were advertising $5200

hey, what kinda tranny should i go with? and how much does it run normally, and how much for the install? Also, don't you need to drop the entire engine?

the deal is good, and the labor will be about 250-300. if u wanna sell the car don't bother about getting it a new tranny, or a performance clutch.

hey
 

but how can i sell it for a good price if people test drive it and feel like second gear grinding? uh i dunno, and the clutch squeeks...i want at least 3500 for the car, but really would like what i paid for it. $4200

help

Hey sorry o interrupt but how easy is it to install a sort shifter?

I have to agree. Next to the civic hx (auto) the dx has the worst tranny I've ever seen. I blew to dx trannies ( one with a clutchmaster stage 2 clutch) before I did my si swap. I'd go with si tranny. You can probally pick one up for $350-$500 at thej-yard. If your gonna sell the car though then jsut throw a cheap ass clutch or sell it as is to some one who gonna swap out the engine.:bow: :bow: :bow:

O yeah. Its also gonna be good to do them at the same time so you won't be charged to install the clutch. It cost me $250 to get my tranny dropped in. If you have enough cake you may wanna get a lightened flywheel while your shopping.
