Gears on car seem to grind

[boysheff 10]

i havea honda civic mk 7 (not recent model, the one before). recently when driving in gear 1 and 2 its seems to grind, to be honest its more a sound like something loose.

 

two garages have told me two different things:loopy:.

 

does anyone have an idea of thi s could be:confused:

Put the clutch in

[2001louise 10]

it could be a few things,

 

1, you are not putting the clutch down fully.

 

2, the clutch is on its way out

 

3, the flywheel isnt biting properly

 

4, the gearbox is on its way out.

 

what has the garage said it could be

[Greengeek 10]

What engine is it and how many miles? We've got an i-CTDI 2.2 Accord and that is currently having clutch problems @ 100k.

 

If it's diesel, then be prepared for a massive cost. You're supposed to replace the DMF at the same time.

Parts alone, the clutch kit is £180 and the DMF is £360. Then add labour, probs around 3 hours @ ~ £45 an hour.

Hmmm, Could be the synchro :S

Does it grind when engaging the gear, or when driving?

 

If it's when driving it might just be a failing engine mount causing a knock agaisnt the exhaust/exhaust heat shiel

Only if you go to main dealer, you should try Ian Kelly on Halifax Road I can't recommend him too highly and he will collect your car from home or work, do job and bring it back. Tel 0114 285 2480 or 07976 265 034

Nope, that's ECP. Main dealer you're looking at a grand for the DMF.
