gearbox / clutch?

[rakfint]

Hi All,

I baught myself a 96 Integra GSI about 2 months ago. Since buying it i've noticed when I engage the clutch I hear a 'swoosh' noise... it's hard to describe it exactly, but I guess it kind of sounds like a if u were to hear a bike chain free spinning.

I first noticed this at high revs only, but think i've been hearing it more regularly now.

What do you think??

does your revs increase sometimes and your car's speed doesn't?

Have a look through that.

i think you might be looking at a thrust bearing mate, if this sound only occurs during the engagement of the clutch!

I had a similar problem with my car, same model/year as yours!

It's not an expensive fix as it is, but if you leave it for to long (like me) you could be looking at a box re-build... thats whe it gets pricey

Have a trusted mechanic look at it and go from there.

pull it off and grease the shiz out of the thrust bearing. I had to do it to mine....they just run dry after a while!

If its rough to turn.......you might have to replace it altogether
