2007 Civic Coupe LX M/T Problems

gon770 · 09-23-2007, 02:23 PM

Hello!

After driving about 800 miles, I found out something that I hate to hear and don't know if it's normal or something wrong with my civic...

I heard some click-or-metal-rubbing-sounds from steering wheel. I took it to the dealer. They said it's a problem of some airbag cable whatever and said they placed an order for that parts and replace it.

Also, I hate to say but rattling noise from the back.. Since I'm driving coupe, I got completely nothing on the back of my car but still hear that noise (little bit) Is there anyway I can find it out?

Also, I'm newbie for M/T so I think my clutch disk won't last that long (I'm pretty suck at driving MT right now). How much will it costs to replace clutch?

Also as someone posted, I have same engine idle vibration problem. I guess it is normal. (I asked Honda dealer, and they said, it is doing that to keep the engine on blah blah)

Thank you.

I wouldn't worry about the clutch too much; you'll get better as you go, reducing clutch wear. Even learning manual on a new MT it should last 80K+ miles. If/when it needs replacing, I believe it's quite labor intensive (6ish hours?), so it'd probably cost around 1k (just a guess).

u'll get better at "feathering" the clutch. just remember smoothness is the key.
